ICD-10 Code H02.721 – Madarosis of right upper eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.721 – Madarosis of right upper eyelid and periocular area
What it is
This code identifies loss of eyelashes or eyebrow hair affecting the right upper eyelid and nearby periocular skin. It describes a localized finding, not a cause.
Clinical signs
You may see partial or complete absence of hair in the coded area, with a sparse or bare eyelid margin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.721 when the clinician documents madarosis limited to the right upper eyelid and periocular area. Choose it for a recorded finding, such as eyelash loss noted on examination, when the side and location are specified.
If the note only says “madarosis” without laterality or site, check documentation before coding. Do not assume the right upper eyelid if the record is incomplete.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized hair loss, scalp alopecia, or eyelash loss from an unspecified eyelid. Check documentation if the cause is a separate condition that should be coded instead.
Coding tip
Always confirm laterality and exact eyelid location, because this code is specific to the right upper eyelid and periocular area.
