ICD-10 Code H10.011 – Acute follicular conjunctivitis, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H10.011 – Acute follicular conjunctivitis, right eye
What it is
H10.011 identifies acute follicular conjunctivitis affecting the right eye. Use it when documentation specifies this unilateral conjunctival inflammation with follicle formation.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a red, irritated right eye with conjunctival follicles and possible tearing or discharge. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents acute follicular conjunctivitis in the right eye, or clearly describes right-sided follicular conjunctival inflammation. It is appropriate when laterality is confirmed and no more specific conjunctival diagnosis is recorded.
Do not use for
Do not use H10.011 if the condition is not documented as acute or follicular, or if the affected eye is not the right eye. Check documentation for other conjunctival disorders.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality and the word “acute” in the note before assigning H10.011.
