ICD-10 Code H02.14 – Spastic ectropion of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.14 – Spastic ectropion of eyelid
What it is
Spastic ectropion is outward turning of the eyelid caused by muscle spasm, usually affecting the lower lid. It can expose the eye surface and interfere with normal tear drainage.
Clinical signs
Common findings include lid eversion, irritation, tearing, and redness from exposure. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the record does not clearly describe spasm-related outward turning of the eyelid.
When to use this code
Use H02.14 when the provider documents spastic ectropion of the eyelid, or describes an eyelid that is turned outward because of spasm. Code it when the note identifies the condition as the diagnosis, not just nonspecific eye irritation. Check documentation if the cause of ectropion is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for involutional, cicatricial, paralytic, or congenital ectropion unless documentation specifically supports spastic ectropion. Do not assign it for simple eyelid redness or tearing without confirmed lid eversion.
Coding tip
Look for the word “spastic” or a clear statement that the eyelid turns outward from spasm before coding H02.14.
