ICD-10 Code H30.8 – Other chorioretinal inflammations (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.8 – Other chorioretinal inflammations
What it is
H30.8 identifies chorioretinal inflammation affecting the choroid and retina that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. Use it when the record describes an inflammatory chorioretinal process, but the exact subtype is not named.
Clinical signs
Findings may include blurred vision, floaters, eye pain, or decreased visual acuity, depending on the extent of inflammation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact ophthalmic diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use H30.8 when the provider documents chorioretinal inflammation and no specific named entity is available in the chart. It also fits cases where the note confirms inflammatory involvement of the choroid and retina, but details are insufficient for a more precise code. Check documentation if the diagnosis is described as infectious, autoimmune, or another specific subtype.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated choroiditis, retinitis, or chorioretinal scars without active inflammation. If a more specific chorioretinal diagnosis is documented, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Query for the exact ophthalmic wording when the record only says “chorioretinal inflammation” without detail.
