B30Viral conjunctivitis

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

B30 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for viral conjunctivitis. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • herpesviral [herpes simplex] ocular disease (B00.5)
  • ocular zoster (B02.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with B30

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B30. 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 alone.

  • H10.23Serous conjunctivitis, except viral

Risk adjustment

B30 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.

Code to one of these instead B30

6 child codes. Green means billable.
