About H30.1
H30.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disseminated chorioretinal inflammation. 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.
Within H30 (chorioretinal inflammation), H30.1 is specifically for disseminated chorioretinal inflammation. Related codes cover focal chorioretinal inflammation (H30.0), posterior cyclitis (H30.2), other chorioretinal inflammations (H30.8) and unspecified chorioretinal inflammation (H30.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H30.10 (inflammation), H30.11 (of posterior pole), H30.12 (peripheral), H30.13 (generalized) and H30.14 (epitheliopathy).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of H30.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: exudative retinopathy (H35.02-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
