ICD-10 Code H02.6 – Xanthelasma of Eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.6 – Xanthelasma of eyelid
What it is
H02.6 identifies xanthelasma of the eyelid, a localized yellowish deposit on the eyelid skin. It is usually benign and documented as a cosmetic or clinical finding.
Clinical signs
Typical findings are soft, flat, or slightly raised yellow plaques near the eyelids, often at the inner canthus. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically documents xanthelasma of the eyelid. Apply it for a confirmed eyelid lesion, whether noted during an eye exam or as an incidental finding. Check documentation if the provider describes a different lipid-related skin disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use H02.6 for nonspecific eyelid discoloration, swelling, or other eyelid masses without xanthelasma documented. Check documentation if the lesion is elsewhere on the body.
Coding tip
Code the condition only when the provider names xanthelasma of the eyelid; otherwise, query or verify the record.
