ICD-10 Code H30.032 – Focal chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.032 – Focal chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, left eye
What it is
This code identifies a localized inflammatory disorder affecting the choroid and retina in the peripheral area of the left eye. Use it when documentation specifies focal chorioretinal inflammation limited to that eye and location.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include a focal peripheral chorioretinal lesion, ocular inflammation, or visual symptoms if the lesion affects vision. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H30.032 when the clinician documents focal chorioretinal inflammation in the peripheral left eye. It is appropriate for office, ophthalmology, or discharge records that clearly identify the site and laterality. Check documentation if the record does not specify left eye or peripheral involvement.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for right-eye, bilateral, or unspecified chorioretinal inflammation. Avoid it when the note describes a different retinal, choroidal, or infectious eye condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and peripheral location before assigning H30.032.
