ICD-10 Code H02.879 – Vascular anomalies of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.879 – Vascular anomalies of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies a vascular anomaly affecting an unspecified eye or eyelid. Use it when documentation confirms a vascular lesion, but the record does not specify the exact type or laterality.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible abnormal blood vessels, localized swelling, discoloration, or a lesion described as vascular. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.879 when the provider documents a vascular anomaly of the eye or eyelid and does not identify the side or more specific diagnosis. It is appropriate for nonspecific charting, referral notes, or incomplete specialty descriptions. If laterality or a more precise lesion type is documented, code that instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonvascular eyelid masses, infections, trauma, or congenital eye conditions without a vascular component. Check documentation if the lesion is better described by a more specific code.
Coding tip
Query for laterality and lesion type before assigning this unspecified code.
