What ICD codes are used for eye lesions?
The specific ICD-10-CM codes used for eye lesions depend on the underlying cause, location, and laterality. Common examples include:
- H02.9: Unspecified disorder of eyelid: Used for documenting a non-specific eyelid condition when the exact diagnosis is not determined. This includes terms like eyelid lesion, bilateral eyelid disorders, and inflammatory changes without a confirmed underlying cause.
- H01.9: Unspecified inflammation of eyelid: Used for coding general inflammation of the eyelid (e.g., blepharitis or dermatitis) when the specific source or type of inflammation is not documented.
- H02.873: Vascular anomalies of right eye, unspecified eyelid: Used for vascular lesions or malformations affecting the eyelid of the right eye, such as hemangiomas or capillary anomalies, when the exact eyelid region is not specified.
- H02.876: Vascular anomalies of left eye, unspecified eyelid: Used for documenting vascular lesions on the left eyelid, unspecified as upper or lower.
- H02.879: Vascular anomalies of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid: Used for nonspecific vascular abnormalities of the eyelid when both eye side and eyelid location are not documented.
- H02.871: Vascular anomalies of right upper eyelid: Used for vascular lesions such as hemangiomas on the right upper eyelid.
- H02.872: Vascular anomalies of right lower eyelid: Used for identifying vascular abnormalities (e.g. venous malformations) affecting the right lower eyelid.
- H02.874: Vascular anomalies of left upper eyelid: Used for lesions or vascular defects of the left upper eyelid, often seen in pediatric or congenital cases.
- H02.875: Vascular anomalies of left lower eyelid: Used for vascular malformations on the left lower eyelid, including congenital and acquired types.
