ICD-10 Code H10.811 – Pingueculitis, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H10.811 – Pingueculitis, right eye
What it is
H10.811 identifies inflammation of a pinguecula in the right eye. Use it when documentation states pingueculitis, meaning the benign conjunctival lesion has become irritated or inflamed.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a localized, raised yellow-white conjunctival lesion with redness, irritation, or discomfort near the nasal or temporal limbus. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents pingueculitis specifically affecting the right eye. It also fits notes describing an inflamed pinguecula, right side, without a more specific alternate diagnosis. If laterality is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use H10.811 for uncomplicated pinguecula without inflammation or for other conjunctival disorders. Do not assume laterality; check documentation if the record does not clearly state the right eye.
Coding tip
Verify that both the condition and laterality are documented, because H10.811 is right eye specific.
