ICD-10 Code H01.85 – Other specified inflammation of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.85 – Other specified inflammation of left lower eyelid
What it is
H01.85 identifies inflammation affecting the left lower eyelid when the condition does not fit a more specific eyelid diagnosis. Use it for localized inflammatory eyelid disease documented on the left lower lid.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid redness, swelling, tenderness, or irritation of the left lower lid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a nonspecific inflammatory process limited to the left lower eyelid. It is appropriate when the record does not support a more exact eyelid disorder, such as blepharitis or chalazion. Check documentation for laterality and the lower-lid location.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for right-sided, bilateral, or unspecified eyelid inflammation. Do not assign it when the documented condition is a different eyelid disorder or a noninflammatory eye problem.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the lower-eyelid site in the note before coding.
