ICD-10 Code H01.125 – Discoid lupus erythematosus of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.125 – Discoid lupus erythematosus of left lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies discoid lupus erythematosus affecting the left lower eyelid. It is used when the record specifies a chronic, localized lupus skin lesion on that eyelid.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a persistent, well-defined scaly or erythematous plaque on the eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and exact site.
When to use this code
Use H01.125 when the provider documents discoid lupus erythematosus limited to the left lower eyelid. The note should clearly support the diagnosis and the anatomic location. If the eyelid side or lesion type is not stated, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for discoid lupus at another eyelid site or for generalized cutaneous lupus without eyelid involvement. Do not assign it when the chart only says “lupus” without confirming discoid lupus erythematosus.
Coding tip
Verify both the discoid lupus diagnosis and the left lower eyelid location before selecting H01.125.
