ICD-10 Code H30.1 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation is H30.1.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.1 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation

What it is

This code identifies inflammation involving the choroid and retina in a disseminated pattern. Use it when documentation states disseminated chorioretinal inflammation or a closely equivalent diagnosis.

Clinical signs

Findings may include blurred vision, floaters, photophobia, or reduced visual acuity. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially when the note describes bilateral or multifocal posterior segment inflammation.

When to use this code

Use H30.1 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation as the final diagnosis. It may also fit follow-up visits when the condition remains active or is being monitored. Confirm laterality, acuity, and any associated ocular disease in the record.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for isolated choroiditis, isolated retinitis, or nonspecific eye inflammation without chorioretinal involvement. Check documentation if the note instead describes another posterior uveitis diagnosis.

Coding tip

Code the documented chorioretinal diagnosis, and do not assume dissemination unless the provider states it clearly.
