BillableSerous conjunctivitis, except viral, bilateral

What This Code Means
Inflammation of the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye with watery discharge, not caused by a virus, affecting both eyes.
Coding Tips
- •The '3' laterality indicator denotes bilateral involvement; ensure documentation confirms both eyes are affected
- •Non-viral serous conjunctivitis may be allergic or chemical in nature; consider if additional codes are needed for underlying cause
