ICD-10 Code H02.719 – Chloasma of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.719 – Chloasma of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area
What it is
This code identifies chloasma, or melasma, affecting the eyelid and nearby skin around the eye on an unspecified side. Use it when the record documents pigment change in the periocular area but does not specify which eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include symmetric brown or gray-brown hyperpigmented patches on sun-exposed facial skin, including the eyelids or periocular region. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents chloasma involving the eyelid or periocular area and laterality is not stated. It is appropriate for outpatient notes, problem lists, or billing records that describe localized facial hyperpigmentation without more detail. If the note names a specific eye, code more specifically.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized skin discoloration, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or other pigment disorders unless chloasma is documented. Check documentation if the lesion is described only as a facial rash or cosmetic concern.
Coding tip
Verify the site and laterality in the note before assigning H02.719, and query for clarification if the documentation is incomplete.
