ICD-10 Code H01.014 – Ulcerative blepharitis left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.014 – Ulcerative blepharitis left upper eyelid
What it is
H01.014 identifies ulcerative inflammation of the left upper eyelid margin. Use it when documentation specifies ulcerative blepharitis on that side and lid.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid margin redness, crusting, scaling, and small ulcerations or erosions. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents ulcerative blepharitis limited to the left upper eyelid. It is appropriate for office visits, follow-up care, or problem lists when laterality and lid are clearly stated. Check documentation if the note only says blepharitis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for blepharitis affecting another eyelid, both eyelids, or an unspecified site. If the record does not confirm ulcerative disease, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the specific eyelid before assigning H01.014.
