ICD-10 Code H02.72 – Madarosis of eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.72 – Madarosis of eyelid and periocular area
What it is
Madarosis means loss or absence of eyelashes, eyebrows, or hair around the eyelid and nearby periocular skin. Use this code when the documentation identifies that specific finding.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include partial or complete eyebrow or eyelash loss, with visible thinning or bare areas around the lids. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.72 when the provider documents madarosis as the diagnosis or a confirmed exam finding. It fits cases where periocular hair loss is the main recorded problem, including localized eyelid involvement. If the note only describes hair loss without eye-area location, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general scalp hair loss or nonspecific alopecia away from the eyelids. Do not assign it when the record describes another eyelid disorder without madarosis.
Coding tip
Code the condition only when the eyelid or periocular location is clearly documented.
