2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.724 – Madarosis of left upper eyelid and periocular area

What it is

This code identifies loss of eyelashes or eyebrow hair affecting the left upper eyelid and nearby periocular skin. Use it when documentation specifies madarosis in that exact location.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include visible thinning or absence of hair around the left upper eyelid margin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for whether the loss is partial, complete, or associated with local skin changes.

When to use this code

Use H02.724 when the provider documents madarosis limited to the left upper eyelid and periocular area. It is appropriate when the record clearly distinguishes this site from the right side or both sides. If the note only says eyelash loss without location, check documentation.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for generalized hair loss, scalp alopecia, or unspecified eyelid hair loss. If the chart does not identify the left upper eyelid and periocular area, choose a more specific or unspecified code as documented.

Coding tip

Confirm laterality and exact anatomic site in the provider note before assigning H02.724.
