ICD-10 Code H30.103 – Unspecified disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.103 – Unspecified disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, bilateral
What it is
This code identifies bilateral inflammation involving the choroid and retina, with the specific cause not documented. Use it when the record confirms disseminated chorioretinal inflammation in both eyes but does not specify a more exact type.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include inflammatory eye changes on exam, reduced vision, floaters, or retinal and choroidal lesions noted by an eye specialist.
When to use this code
Use H30.103 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation affecting both eyes and does not name a more specific diagnosis. It is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, consultation reports, or problem lists that clearly support bilateral involvement. If the record is vague, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unilateral disease, a more specific chorioretinal disorder, or conditions limited to the retina or choroid alone. If the note identifies another cause or subtype, code that diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the word “unspecified” in the provider note before assigning H30.103.
