ICD-10 Code H02.713 – Chloasma of right eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.713 – Chloasma of right eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area
What it is
This code identifies chloasma, or melasma, affecting the right periocular area when the eyelid and surrounding skin are not further specified. Use it for localized facial hyperpigmentation documented on the right eye region.
Clinical signs
Typical findings are symmetric or localized brown to gray-brown patches of increased pigmentation on sun-exposed facial skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for exact eyelid or periocular involvement.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents chloasma involving the right eye area and does not specify a more precise eyelid location. It also fits notes describing melasma or hyperpigmentation limited to the right periocular region. Check documentation if the record only says facial discoloration without laterality.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized facial hyperpigmentation, postinflammatory pigment change, or skin lesions with a different documented cause. If the laterality or anatomic site is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the periocular/eyelid site before assigning H02.713.
