Dissem chorioretin inflammation, generalized, right eye

This code describes a widespread inflammatory condition affecting both the choroid and retina of the right eye. This inflammation is not localized but rather diffused throughout these posterior structures of the eye. It can lead to significant visual impairment due to damage to these critical layers.

Use this code when documentation indicates a diagnosis of generalized chorioretinal inflammation affecting the right eye, without specifying a particular etiology (e.g., toxoplasmosis, sarcoidosis). Supporting documentation should clearly state "disseminated" or "generalized" and specify the right eye. This code is appropriate when the inflammation is not confined to a specific area.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "generalized" or "disseminated" inflammation; localized inflammation would require a different code.
• Verify laterality; this code is specific to the right eye.
• If an underlying cause for the chorioretinal inflammation is identified, code the etiology first, followed by this code.
