ICD-10 Code H02.60 – Xanthelasma of Unspecified Eye, Unspecified Eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.60 – Xanthelasma of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
H02.60 identifies xanthelasma on an unspecified eye and unspecified eyelid. This code means there is a yellowish cholesterol-rich plaque on the eyelid area, but the record does not specify laterality or eyelid location.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include soft, flat, yellow to yellow-orange eyelid plaques, most often near the inner canthus. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the note does not clearly describe the lesion or its exact site.
When to use this code
Use H02.60 when the provider documents xanthelasma but does not identify the right or left eye, upper or lower eyelid, or both. It also fits when the note confirms the lesion and no more specific eyelid detail is available. Code only what is documented.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart specifies a more exact eyelid or eye laterality code. Do not assign it for other eyelid masses, skin lesions, or cholesterol disorders without documented xanthelasma.
Coding tip
If laterality or eyelid location is documented, choose the more specific ICD-10-CM code instead of this unspecified option.
