ICD-10 Code H30.041 – Focal chorioretinal inflammation, macular or paramacular, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.041 – Focal chorioretinal inflammation, macular or paramacular, right eye
What it is
This code identifies focal inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the macular or paramacular area of the right eye. Use it when the documentation specifies this localized right-eye condition.
Clinical signs
Findings may include localized retinal or chorioretinal inflammatory changes near the macula, with reduced central vision or visual distortion. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H30.041 when the provider documents focal chorioretinal inflammation limited to the macular or paramacular region of the right eye. It is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, imaging reports, or specialist assessments that clearly identify the site and laterality. Check documentation if the record only says chorioretinitis without location.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left-eye, bilateral, or unspecified-eye inflammation, or for conditions outside the macular or paramacular area. Do not assume the diagnosis from symptoms alone; check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and anatomic location in the note before assigning H30.041.
