ICD-10 Code H10.82 – Rosacea conjunctivitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Rosacea conjunctivitis is H10.82.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H10.82 – Rosacea conjunctivitis

What it is

H10.82 identifies conjunctivitis associated with rosacea. Use it when the record shows inflammation of the conjunctiva linked to facial or ocular rosacea.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include red, irritated eyes, tearing, burning, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially when ocular rosacea is noted.

When to use this code

Use this code when the clinician documents rosacea conjunctivitis, ocular rosacea with conjunctival involvement, or conjunctival inflammation attributed to rosacea. It supports coding of the eye condition rather than only the skin disorder.

If the note mentions conjunctivitis without a rosacea link, or rosacea without eye involvement, check documentation before assigning H10.82.

Do not use for

Do not use it for nonspecific conjunctivitis, blepharitis alone, or facial rosacea without conjunctival involvement. Check documentation if the eye findings are not clearly tied to rosacea.

Coding tip

Assign H10.82 only when the provider explicitly connects conjunctivitis to rosacea.
