ICD-10 Code H02.739 – Vitiligo of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.739 – Vitiligo of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area
What it is
This code identifies vitiligo affecting the eye area, including the eyelid and skin around the eye, when the side is not specified. Use it when documentation states vitiligo in this periocular location without more detail.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include well-demarcated depigmented patches on the eyelid or nearby skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially when the note does not clearly identify laterality or extent.
When to use this code
Use H02.739 when the provider documents vitiligo involving an unspecified eye, eyelid, or periocular area and does not indicate right or left. It also fits when the record confirms periocular vitiligo but gives no further anatomic detail. If the note is ambiguous, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for vitiligo limited to another body site or for a clearly documented right or left eye code. Do not guess laterality or apply it when the chart does not support periocular involvement.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and exact location in the assessment or problem list before coding; unspecified codes should reflect documented uncertainty, not missing review.
