ICD-10 Code H02.32 – Blepharochalasis right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.32 – Blepharochalasis right lower eyelid
What it is
H02.32 identifies blepharochalasis affecting the right lower eyelid. It describes recurrent eyelid swelling that can lead to loose, thin skin and eyelid laxity over time.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include episodic painless edema of the eyelid, followed by wrinkled or stretched skin and a drooping, lax lid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents blepharochalasis specifically in the right lower eyelid. It is appropriate when the record links chronic or recurrent eyelid swelling to that exact side and lid.
Do not infer laterality from general eyelid edema alone. If the note only says blepharochalasis without side or lid, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific eyelid swelling, ptosis, or other eyelid disorders unless blepharochalasis is clearly documented. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and eyelid location in the assessment or diagnosis statement before assigning H02.32.
