ICD-10 Code H30.11 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation of posterior pole (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.11 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation of posterior pole
What it is
This code identifies disseminated inflammation involving the choroid and retina at the posterior pole of the eye. Use it when documentation specifically states this location and pattern of chorioretinal inflammation.
Clinical signs
Findings may include posterior pole chorioretinal lesions, blurred vision, or visual field changes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and ophthalmology notes for the exact diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use H30.11 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation limited to the posterior pole, such as in an ophthalmic assessment or discharge summary. Code it only when the anatomic site and inflammatory pattern are clearly stated. If the record is nonspecific, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated retinitis, choroiditis without retinal involvement, or inflammation at another ocular site. If the note does not confirm posterior pole involvement, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm the exact eye location and whether the process is disseminated before assigning H30.11.
