About coding chorioretinal inflammation
The ICD-10-CM code for chorioretinal inflammation is H30.9 (Unspecified chorioretinal inflammation). The official index lists 10 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H30.9.
Within H30, choose H30.9 (Unspecified chorioretinal inflammation) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: focal chorioretinal inflammation (H30.0), disseminated chorioretinal inflammation (H30.1), posterior cyclitis (H30.2) and other chorioretinal inflammations (H30.8).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H30.90 (unspecified eye), H30.91 (right eye), H30.92 (left eye) and H30.93 (bilateral).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
