About H00
H00 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Hordeolum and chalazion. It belongs to block H00-H05 (disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H00.0 (eyelid) and H00.1 (chalazion).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
