H15.019 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of anterior scleritis, unspecified eye. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code H150 is used to code Scleritis

Scleritis is a serious inflammatory disease that affects the white outer coating of the eye, known as the sclera. The disease is often contracted through association with other diseases of the body, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis or rheumatoid arthritis. There are three types of scleritis: diffuse scleritis (the most common), nodular scleritis, and necrotizing scleritis (the most severe). Scleritis may be the first symptom of onset of connective tissue disease.
