ICD-10 Code H30.011 – Focal chorioretinal inflammation, juxtapapillary, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.011 – Focal chorioretinal inflammation, juxtapapillary, right eye
What it is
This code identifies a localized inflammatory lesion involving the choroid and retina near the optic disc in the right eye. It is used when documentation specifies a juxtapapillary, focal chorioretinal inflammation.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include a focal inflammatory retinal-choroidal lesion adjacent to the optic nerve head, with possible visual disturbance or funduscopic evidence of localized inflammation.
When to use this code
Use H30.011 when the provider documents focal chorioretinal inflammation limited to the juxtapapillary area of the right eye. Apply it when the laterality and lesion location are clearly stated in the record. If the note only says chorioretinal inflammation without site details, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified eye laterality, non-juxtapapillary chorioretinal inflammation, or unrelated retinal disorders. If the documentation does not confirm a focal inflammatory lesion, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the juxtapapillary location before assigning H30.011.
