ICD-10 Code H02.736 – Vitiligo of left eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.736 – Vitiligo of left eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area
What it is
This code identifies vitiligo affecting the left eye region, specifically the eyelid or nearby periocular skin when the exact eyelid site is not stated. Use it when documentation confirms depigmentation in that area.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include well-defined, chalk-white patches of skin from loss of pigment. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact periocular location and whether the eyelid is involved.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states vitiligo on the left eye area and does not specify upper or lower eyelid. It also fits notes describing periocular depigmentation without a more precise eyelid location.
If laterality is documented as left and the condition is limited to the eyelid or surrounding periocular skin, this code is appropriate. Check documentation if the note instead describes generalized vitiligo or another facial site.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for vitiligo of the right eye, bilateral eye involvement, or unspecified laterality. Do not assign it if the pigmentation loss is documented elsewhere on the face or body.
Coding tip
Match the code to both laterality and anatomic site; if the eyelid is not specified, use the unspecified eyelid and periocular area code only when documentation supports it.
