ICD-10 Code H01.123 – Discoid lupus erythematosus of right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.123 – Discoid lupus erythematosus of right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies discoid lupus erythematosus affecting the right eye region, with the eyelid not further specified. Use it when documentation names this localized lupus condition on the right side.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include chronic, localized inflammatory skin changes consistent with discoid lupus around the right eye and eyelid involvement if noted.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents discoid lupus erythematosus of the right eye and does not specify the eyelid further. It also fits when the record clearly places the lesion in the periocular area on the right. Check documentation if laterality or eyelid detail is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for systemic lupus erythematosus or for nonspecific facial rash without a documented discoid lupus diagnosis. If the condition is on the left eye or both eyes, choose the appropriate code.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and whether the eyelid is unspecified before assigning H01.123.
