ICD-10 Code H30.129 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, unspecified eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.129 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, unspecified eye
What it is
This code identifies disseminated inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the peripheral part of an unspecified eye. Use it when the record documents this diagnosis but does not specify right or left eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include peripheral chorioretinal inflammatory lesions, reduced vision, or visual field complaints. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H30.129 when the clinician documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation affecting the peripheral retina/choroid and the eye side is not stated. It also fits when the note confirms the condition but gives no further laterality detail. Check documentation if the record is ambiguous.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for chorioretinal inflammation limited to a different retinal region or for a more specific eye laterality code when documented. Do not guess if the diagnosis is not clearly stated.
Coding tip
Confirm both the anatomic location and laterality in the note before assigning H30.129.
