ICD-10 Code H05.041 – Tenonitis of right orbit (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H05.041 – Tenonitis of right orbit
What it is
H05.041 identifies inflammation of Tenon’s capsule in the right orbit. Use it when documentation specifically states tenonitis, Tenonitis, or inflammation limited to the right side.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include orbital pain, tenderness, eye movement discomfort, and signs of localized inflammation around the right eye.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents tenonitis of the right orbit or an equivalent diagnosis with right-sided laterality. It may also fit follow-up visits for a confirmed right orbital Tenon’s capsule inflammation. If laterality is not stated, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use H05.041 for nonspecific orbital pain, conjunctivitis, or other eye inflammation without a documented tenonitis diagnosis. If the record does not clearly identify the right orbit, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and the exact anatomic term in the note before assigning H05.041.
