H30.92

What This Code Means

This code describes inflammation of the choroid and retina (the light-sensitive layers at the back of the eye) in the left eye when the specific cause or type of inflammation cannot be determined. It's used when a patient has eye inflammation but the exact diagnosis hasn't been clearly identified.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when the specific type of chorioretinal inflammation cannot be identified; if a more specific diagnosis is documented (such as toxoplasmosis, sarcoidosis, or other known causes), use the more specific code instead
• •Ensure the laterality is correct—this code is specifically for the left eye; use H30.91 for the right eye or H30.93 for bilateral involvement
