ICD-10 Code H44.111 – Panuveitis, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H44.111 – Panuveitis, right eye
What it is
Panuveitis is inflammation involving all layers of the uveal tract. This code specifies the right eye only, so you should use it when documentation clearly identifies unilateral right-eye disease.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include eye pain, redness, photophobia, blurred vision, and inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber, vitreous, or retina.
When to use this code
Use H44.111 when the provider documents panuveitis affecting the right eye and does not describe a different laterality. It is appropriate for confirmed active or chronic panuveitis in the right eye, including follow-up visits when the diagnosis remains active. Check documentation if the note only says uveitis without specifying pan-uveitis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left eye, bilateral disease, or unspecified eye. Do not assign it if the record describes only anterior, intermediate, or posterior uveitis without panuveitis.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the assessment or impression before coding, because the eye side changes the ICD-10 code.
