ICD-10 Code H02.865 – Hypertrichosis of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.865 – Hypertrichosis of left lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies excessive hair growth on the left lower eyelid. Use it when the documentation specifically names hypertrichosis in that eyelid location.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visibly increased or abnormal hair growth on the left lower eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.865 when the provider documents hypertrichosis limited to the left lower eyelid. It is appropriate for outpatient notes, consults, or problem lists that clearly identify this site. If the record only says “eyelid hair growth” without laterality or location, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized hypertrichosis or hair growth on a different eyelid or body site. Do not assign it when the chart does not specify the left lower eyelid.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid position before coding, because this code is site-specific.
