ICD-10 Code H30.892 – Other chorioretinal inflammations, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H30.892 – Other chorioretinal inflammations, left eye
What it is
This code identifies inflammation involving the choroid and retina in the left eye when the condition does not fit a more specific chorioretinal diagnosis. Use it for documented left-sided disease only.
Clinical signs
Findings may include decreased vision, floaters, eye discomfort, or visible posterior segment inflammation on examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H30.892 when the provider documents an other or unspecified chorioretinal inflammatory process limited to the left eye. It is appropriate when the note clearly supports left-eye involvement and no more specific code is available. Check documentation if laterality or exact subtype is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for right eye or bilateral disease, or when the record identifies a more specific chorioretinal disorder. Do not assign it if the documentation only says “eye inflammation” without posterior segment involvement.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and the exact posterior segment diagnosis before coding; if the note is vague, query for clarification.
