Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis
- Shipyard eye
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above B30.0
These are not written on B30.0, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing B30.0 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with B30.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B30.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B30.0 alone.
- H10.23Serous conjunctivitis, except viral
Risk adjustment
B30.0 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
B30.0 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
