ICD-10 Code H02.109 – Unspecified ectropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.109 – Unspecified ectropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies ectropion when the eyelid turns outward, but the eye, eyelid, and side are not specified. Use it when the record confirms ectropion without further detail.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include outward lid eversion, tearing, irritation, and exposure of the conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.109 when the provider documents ectropion but does not state which eye or which eyelid is involved. It also fits when laterality is missing or the note is too vague to assign a more specific code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the record identifies a specific eye, eyelid, or both sides; choose the more precise option instead. Check documentation when ectropion is part of a different eyelid disorder.
Coding tip
Query for laterality before defaulting to an unspecified code.
