ICD-10 Code H30.001 – Unspecified focal chorioretinal inflammation, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.001 – Unspecified focal chorioretinal inflammation, right eye
What it is
This code identifies focal inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the right eye when the exact cause or subtype is not documented. It signals a localized posterior eye inflammatory process.
Clinical signs
Findings may include decreased vision, floaters, or a visible focal chorioretinal lesion on eye examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H30.001 when the provider documents unspecified focal chorioretinal inflammation limited to the right eye. It is appropriate when laterality is clear but the etiology, acuity, or exact inflammatory subtype is not stated. Check documentation if the note describes a different eye or a more specific chorioretinal disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for inflammation of the left eye, both eyes, or a more specific chorioretinal diagnosis. If the record identifies a different retinal, choroidal, or infectious condition, code that documented diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Confirm right-eye laterality and whether the provider documented a more specific chorioretinal condition before assigning H30.001.
