ICD-10 Code H31.092 – Other chorioretinal scars, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H31.092 – Other chorioretinal scars, left eye
What it is
This code identifies a chorioretinal scar in the left eye that is not classified elsewhere. It reflects a documented scar involving the choroid and retina, usually from prior injury or inflammation.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a visible retinal or chorioretinal scar on exam, with or without reduced vision. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality, cause, and whether the lesion is active or inactive.
When to use this code
Use H31.092 when the provider documents an other chorioretinal scar specifically in the left eye. Choose it for stable, residual scarring when the record does not support a more specific diagnosis. If the note only says “scar” without eye laterality, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active chorioretinitis, retinal detachment, or unspecified eye laterality. If the lesion is better described by another retinal disorder, use the more specific code instead.
Coding tip
Confirm left-eye laterality and that the finding is a scar, not an active inflammatory process, before assigning H31.092.
