ICD-10 Code H01.8A – Other specified inflammation of right eye, upper and lower eyelids (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.8A – Other specified inflammation of right eye, upper and lower eyelids
What it is
This code identifies a documented inflammatory condition affecting both the upper and lower eyelids of the right eye when the specific eyelid disorder is not otherwise classified. Use it for a right-sided, eyelid-limited inflammatory diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Findings may include eyelid redness, swelling, tenderness, crusting, or irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact inflammatory diagnosis and whether both eyelids are involved.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other specified inflammation involving the upper and lower eyelids of the right eye. It fits cases where the condition is clearly localized to those eyelids and no more specific eyelid code applies. Check documentation if the note is nonspecific or laterality is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unspecified eyelid inflammation, left-sided disease, or conditions limited to only one right eyelid unless the record states both upper and lower lids. Avoid it when a more specific diagnosis is documented.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and that both the upper and lower right eyelids are involved before assigning H01.8A.
