ICD-10 Code H02.104 – Unspecified ectropion of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.104 – Unspecified ectropion of left upper eyelid
What it is
This code identifies outward turning of the left upper eyelid when the specific type is not documented. It means the lid margin no longer sits normally against the eye.
Clinical signs
Common findings include lid eversion, tearing, irritation, redness, and exposure of the eye surface. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.104 when the provider documents ectropion of the left upper eyelid but does not specify the cause or subtype. It also fits cases where the chart confirms lid malposition without further detail. If laterality or eyelid location differs, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion of the right eyelid, lower eyelid, or both eyelids. Do not use it when the record describes a different eyelid disorder or a more specific ectropion code.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid position in the note before assigning H02.104.
