ICD-10 Code H02.73 – Vitiligo of eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.73 – Vitiligo of eyelid and periocular area
What it is
H02.73 identifies vitiligo affecting the eyelid or the skin around the eye. It means localized loss of pigment in the periocular area, documented as a specific eyelid condition.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include well-defined depigmented patches on the eyelid or surrounding skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for whether the area is unilateral, bilateral, or part of more widespread vitiligo.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents vitiligo limited to the eyelid or periocular region. It is appropriate for outpatient, specialist, or problem-list documentation that clearly names the anatomic site. If the note only says vitiligo without location, check documentation before assigning H02.73.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other eyelid pigment disorders, nonspecific skin discoloration, or vitiligo elsewhere on the body. If the record does not specify periocular involvement, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the site exactly as documented; eyelid and periocular vitiligo is not the same as general vitiligo.
