ICD-10 Code H02.10 – Unspecified ectropion of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.10 – Unspecified ectropion of eyelid
What it is
H02.10 identifies ectropion of the eyelid when the specific eyelid or cause is not documented. Ectropion means the lid turns outward, exposing the inner surface and reducing normal eye protection.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include outward lid eversion, tearing, irritation, redness, and exposure symptoms. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.10 when the record states ectropion but does not specify upper or lower lid, laterality, or etiology. It also fits when the clinician documents ectropion without enough detail for a more specific code. Check documentation before coding a more detailed option.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart identifies a specific eyelid, side, or cause of ectropion. Do not use it for other eyelid malpositions or nonspecific eye irritation alone.
Coding tip
If the note lacks laterality or etiology, code H02.10 and query only when more detail is needed for accurate reporting.
