ICD-10 Code H02.86 – Hypertrichosis of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.86 – Hypertrichosis of eyelid
What it is
H02.86 identifies abnormal excessive hair growth on the eyelid. Use it when documentation specifically describes hypertrichosis affecting the eyelid tissue.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visibly increased hair on one or both eyelids. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality, extent, and whether the finding is isolated or part of another condition.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents hypertrichosis of the eyelid as the diagnosis or a relevant clinical finding. It may apply during eye exams, dermatology visits, or consultations where the eyelid hair growth is the reason for evaluation. If the record does not clearly identify the eyelid, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for generalized hypertrichosis, eyelash abnormalities, or other eyelid disorders without eyelid hypertrichosis. If the note is nonspecific, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the condition only when the eyelid is explicitly named; otherwise, query for clarification.
