ICD-10 Code H02.13 – Senile ectropion of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.13 – Senile ectropion of eyelid
What it is
H02.13 identifies age-related outward turning of the eyelid margin, usually the lower lid. This malposition can expose the eye surface and reduce normal eyelid closure.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include lid eversion, tearing, irritation, and conjunctival exposure. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the note does not clearly describe age-related ectropion.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents senile, involutional, or age-related ectropion of the eyelid. It also fits records describing outward lid turning due to laxity in an older patient. If the cause is traumatic, paralytic, or cicatricial, check documentation for a different code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion caused by scarring, facial nerve palsy, or injury. If the note only says “eyelid problem” without specifying senile ectropion, check documentation.
Coding tip
Assign H02.13 only when the provider clearly links ectropion to age-related lid laxity.
