ICD-10 Code H30.132 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, generalized, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.132 – Disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, generalized, left eye
What it is
This code identifies generalized disseminated inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the left eye. Use it when documentation specifies the left eye and a widespread chorioretinal process.
Clinical signs
Findings may include reduced vision, floaters, and inflammatory lesions affecting the posterior segment. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality, extent, and any associated ocular inflammation.
When to use this code
Use H30.132 when the provider documents disseminated chorioretinal inflammation, generalized, limited to the left eye. It is appropriate for charted diagnoses from ophthalmology, even if the note describes posterior uveitic or chorioretinal inflammatory changes. Check documentation if the record does not clearly identify the left eye or generalized distribution.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified eye involvement, right eye disease, or bilateral conditions. If the diagnosis is different, such as isolated chorioretinitis or another retinal disorder, select the documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the term “generalized” before assigning H30.132.
