ICD-10 Code H02.63 – Xanthelasma of right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.63 – Xanthelasma of right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies xanthelasma on the right eye, with the eyelid not further specified. It refers to a localized yellowish cholesterol deposit on the eyelid skin.
Clinical signs
Look for soft, flat, or slightly raised yellow plaques near the eyelid, usually on the inner canthus. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents xanthelasma limited to the right eye and does not specify upper or lower eyelid. It also fits when laterality is clear but eyelid detail is missing in the record.
Do not use for
Do not use it for xanthelasma of the left eye, both eyes, or a specifically documented upper or lower eyelid code. Check documentation if the site is described differently.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and eyelid specificity before assigning H02.63.
