H30.899

What This Code Means

Inflammation of the choroid and retina (the light-sensitive layers at the back of the eye) of an unspecified type in an eye where the specific eye is not documented.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when the specific eye location cannot be determined; if eye laterality is known, use H30.91 or H30.93 instead
• •This is a less specific code; review documentation to determine if right eye, left eye, or bilateral coding is more appropriate
