ICD-10 Code H11.229 – Conjunctival granuloma, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.229 – Conjunctival granuloma, unspecified
What it is
H11.229 identifies a granuloma involving the conjunctiva when the site is documented but the cause or type is not further specified. Use it for a localized conjunctival inflammatory mass or nodule without a more precise diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include a visible conjunctival nodule, focal redness, irritation, or a persistent foreign-body sensation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents conjunctival granuloma and does not specify an underlying cause, such as foreign body reaction, postoperative change, or infection. It also fits when the record confirms a conjunctival granuloma but gives no further detail. Check documentation if the lesion is described more specifically.
Do not use for
Do not use H11.229 for other conjunctival masses, cysts, or nonspecific conjunctivitis. If the chart identifies a different etiology or a more specific conjunctival disorder, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Look for a documented cause or more specific conjunctival diagnosis before assigning this unspecified code.
