ICD-10 Code H10.819 – Pingueculitis, unspecified eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H10.819 – Pingueculitis, unspecified eye
What it is
H10.819 identifies inflammation of a pinguecula in an unspecified eye. Use it when the chart documents pingueculitis but does not specify right or left eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include localized redness, irritation, and tenderness at the pinguecula, with symptoms usually limited to the conjunctival lesion.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider diagnoses pingueculitis and the affected eye is not stated. It also fits follow-up notes that confirm persistent inflammation of a known pinguecula without laterality. If the record only says conjunctivitis or pinguecula without inflammation, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for simple pinguecula without inflammation or for other conjunctival disorders. If the eye laterality is documented, select the specific right or left code instead.
Coding tip
Verify both the diagnosis and laterality in the note before assigning H10.819.
