ICD-10 Code H02.131 – Senile ectropion of right upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.131 – Senile ectropion of right upper eyelid
What it is
H02.131 identifies age-related outward turning of the right upper eyelid. This condition can leave the lid margin poorly apposed to the eye and may expose the conjunctiva.
Clinical signs
Common findings include a visibly everted upper lid, tearing, irritation, and conjunctival redness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically documents senile ectropion affecting the right upper eyelid. It applies when the provider identifies age-related lid laxity rather than trauma, spasm, or paralytic causes. Check documentation if laterality or eyelid level is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for ectropion of the left eyelid, lower eyelid, or unspecified eyelid position. Do not use it when the cause is congenital, cicatricial, paralytic, or mechanical unless documented as senile.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the upper-lid location in the provider note before assigning H02.131.
