H31.001

What This Code Means

Scarring of the choroid and retina in the right eye from an unspecified cause, typically resulting from previous inflammation or injury.

Coding Tips

• •This code represents scarring without a specified etiology; if the cause is documented (post-traumatic, post-inflammatory), use a more specific code like H31.011
• •Scarring codes indicate chronic sequelae; ensure this is not an acute inflammatory condition
