H15.109 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified episcleritis, unspecified eye. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code H151 is used to code Episcleritis

Episcleritis is a benign, self-limiting inflammatory disease affecting part of the eye called the episclera. The episclera is a thin layer of tissue that lies between the conjunctiva and the connective tissue layer that forms the white of the eye (sclera). Episcleritis is a common condition, and is characterized by the abrupt onset of mild eye pain and redness.
