ICD-10 Code H02.869 – Hypertrichosis of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.869 – Hypertrichosis of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies excessive hair growth affecting the eyelid or eye area when the side and eyelid are not specified. Use it for documented hypertrichosis without further anatomic detail.
Clinical signs
Documentation may note abnormally increased hair on the eyelid or adjacent eye region. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.869 when the record states hypertrichosis of the eye or eyelid but does not specify right, left, or a particular eyelid. It also fits when the provider documents excess periocular hair growth and no more precise site is given. Check documentation if another eyelid disorder is described.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart identifies a specific eye or eyelid side, because a more specific code may apply. Do not use it for generalized body hair growth unrelated to the eyelid area.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and exact eyelid location before assigning the unspecified code.
