ICD-10 Code H01.143 – Xeroderma of right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.143 – Xeroderma of right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies dryness and scaling of the right eye area when the eyelid is not further specified. Use it for documented xeroderma affecting the periocular skin on the right side.
Clinical signs
Common findings include dry, rough, or flaky skin around the right eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for whether the eyelid is involved or another periocular site is meant.
When to use this code
Use H01.143 when the provider documents xeroderma of the right eye and does not specify the eyelid location beyond that. It is appropriate when the record clearly links the dryness to the right periocular area. If the note describes a different eyelid disorder or a more specific site, code that instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized dry skin, conjunctival dryness, or left-sided eye findings. If the documentation does not support xeroderma or the side is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and the exact anatomic site in the note before assigning H01.143.
