ICD-10 Code H02.861 – Hypertrichosis of right upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.861 – Hypertrichosis of right upper eyelid
What it is
H02.861 identifies excessive hair growth on the right upper eyelid. Use it when the record specifically documents hypertrichosis affecting that eyelid.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visibly increased hair on the right upper eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and whether the growth is localized to the eyelid.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents hypertrichosis limited to the right upper eyelid. It is appropriate for outpatient, specialist, or problem-list documentation that clearly names the site. If the note only says “excess hair” without location, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized hypertrichosis, eyelash disorders, or unspecified eyelid involvement. If the side or exact eyelid is not documented, select the more accurate documented code or check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify laterality carefully; H02.861 is specific to the right upper eyelid.
