About H30.04

H30.04 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for focal chorioretinal inflammation, macular or paramacular. It belongs to category H30 (chorioretinal inflammation), block H30-H36 (disorders of choroid and retina) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H30.0 (focal chorioretinal inflammation), H30.04 is specifically for focal chorioretinal inflammation, macular or paramacular. Related codes cover unspecified focal chorioretinal inflammation (H30.00), juxtapapillary (H30.01), of posterior pole (H30.02) and peripheral (H30.03).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H30.041 (right eye), H30.042 (left eye), H30.043 (bilateral) and H30.049 (unspecified eye).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
