2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.101 – Unspecified ectropion of right upper eyelid

What it is

H02.101 identifies outward turning of the right upper eyelid without a documented cause or subtype. The eyelid margin does not rest normally against the eye.

Clinical signs

Common findings include lid eversion, tearing, irritation, redness, and exposed conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the chart states ectropion of the right upper eyelid but does not specify the cause, type, or severity. It also fits when the provider documents only “ectropion” and laterality is clearly right upper eyelid. If documentation names a specific etiology or type, code that instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for ectropion of the left eyelid, lower eyelid, or unspecified eyelid laterality. Do not use it when the record clearly identifies a different eyelid disorder; check documentation.

Coding tip

Confirm both laterality and eyelid location in the note before assigning H02.101.
