ICD-10 Code H02.65 – Xanthelasma of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.65 – Xanthelasma of left lower eyelid
What it is
H02.65 identifies xanthelasma located on the left lower eyelid. It is a yellowish cholesterol deposit in the eyelid skin and is usually a benign cosmetic finding.
Clinical signs
You may see soft, flat, yellow plaques or patches on the left lower eyelid near the inner canthus. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents xanthelasma specifically on the left lower eyelid. It fits outpatient, specialist, or problem-list documentation that clearly identifies the site. If the laterality or eyelid is not specified, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use H02.65 for xanthelasma on another eyelid or on the right side. Do not use it for nonspecific eyelid lesions unless xanthelasma is explicitly documented.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid location in the note before assigning H02.65.
