ICD-10 Code H02.009 – Unspecified entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.009 – Unspecified entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
H02.009 identifies entropion when the eyelid turns inward, but the record does not specify the eye or eyelid. This code is used when documentation confirms entropion without further detail.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include inward-turned lid margin, lash irritation, tearing, redness, and a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.009 when the provider documents entropion but does not state whether it affects the right or left eye, upper or lower lid. It also fits when the note confirms the condition yet omits laterality or lid detail. Check documentation if the record is ambiguous.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the documentation identifies a specific eye or eyelid, because a more detailed code may apply. Do not assign it for eyelid inversion from trauma or another clearly different condition.
Coding tip
Query for laterality and lid location before defaulting to H02.009.
