ICD-10 Code H01.82 – Other specified inflammation of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.82 – Other specified inflammation of right lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies an inflammatory condition affecting the right lower eyelid when the documentation specifies a type not named elsewhere in the ICD-10 category. Use it for localized eyelid inflammation on the right side.
Clinical signs
Findings may include eyelid redness, swelling, tenderness, or irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact inflammatory diagnosis and laterality.
When to use this code
Use H01.82 when the clinician documents a specific inflammatory disorder of the right lower eyelid that does not fit a more precise ICD-10 option. It is appropriate when laterality and lower-eyelid involvement are clearly stated. If the note is nonspecific, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified eyelid inflammation or for conditions affecting the left eyelid, upper eyelid, or both eyelids. Check documentation if the record describes a different eyelid disorder.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the lower-eyelid location before assigning H01.82.
