ICD-10 Code H02.143 – Spastic ectropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.143 – Spastic ectropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies spastic ectropion affecting the right eye, with the eyelid not further specified. It means the lid turns outward because of eyelid spasm, exposing the eye surface.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include outward turning of the eyelid, tearing, irritation, and exposed conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.143 when the provider documents spastic ectropion of the right eye and does not specify upper or lower eyelid. It applies when the condition is described as spastic, not involutional or cicatricial. If the record names a different eyelid type, code that detail instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion of the left eye, bilateral ectropion, or ectropion with a specified eyelid. Check documentation if the cause is paralytic or scar-related.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and whether the eyelid is upper, lower, or unspecified before assigning H02.143.
