ICD-10 Code H11.119 – Conjunctival deposits, unspecified eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.119 – Conjunctival deposits, unspecified eye
What it is
This code identifies deposits on the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white of the eye, when the eye is not further specified. It is used when documentation notes conjunctival deposits but does not name a cause or laterality.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible conjunctival deposits on exam, often described as plaques, spots, or granular material. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H11.119 when the record clearly states conjunctival deposits and the provider does not document whether the right or left eye is involved. It also fits when the note gives no more specific diagnosis. Check documentation if the deposits are linked to another eye disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart identifies a different conjunctival lesion, such as a cyst, scar, or foreign body. Do not assign it when laterality is documented and a more specific code is available.
Coding tip
Always look for laterality and the underlying cause before defaulting to unspecified eye.
