ICD-10 Code H10.813 – Pingueculitis, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H10.813 – Pingueculitis, bilateral
What it is
H10.813 identifies inflammation of pingueculae in both eyes. Use it when the chart documents bilateral pingueculitis, not a general conjunctivitis diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include localized redness, irritation, and tenderness at the pinguecula in both eyes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents bilateral pingueculitis or inflamed pingueculae affecting both eyes. It is appropriate when the record clearly distinguishes this from other conjunctival disorders. Check documentation if the laterality or exact diagnosis is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated pinguecula without inflammation or for nonspecific conjunctivitis. If the note only says “eye redness” or “eye irritation,” check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Confirm bilateral laterality in the assessment or final diagnosis before assigning H10.813.
