ICD-10 Code H11.223 – Conjunctival granuloma, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.223 – Conjunctival granuloma, bilateral
What it is
H11.223 identifies granulomatous growths on the conjunctiva in both eyes. Use it when documentation clearly states bilateral conjunctival granuloma.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible conjunctival nodules, localized redness, irritation, or a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents granuloma of the conjunctiva affecting both eyes. It fits cases where the bilateral location is explicit in the record.
If the note only says “conjunctival granuloma” without laterality, check documentation before assigning H11.223. Confirm that the lesion is conjunctival and not another ocular surface mass.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unilateral conjunctival granuloma or for nonspecific conjunctival lesions. If the documentation is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality in the ophthalmology note before coding H11.223.
