What This Code Means

H30.032 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for focal chorioretinal inflammation, peripheral, left eye. Inflammation of the choroid and retina in the outer edges of the left eye. This focal inflammatory condition affects the peripheral retina away from the central vision area. H30.032 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of choroid and retina (h30-h36).

H30.032 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Confirm left eye laterality is documented in the medical record.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H30.032 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
