About H00.03
H00.03 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abscess of eyelid. It belongs to category H00 (Hordeolum and chalazion), 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.
Within H00.0 (Hordeolum (externum) (internum) of eyelid), H00.03 is specifically for abscess of eyelid. Related codes cover Hordeolum externum (H00.01) and Hordeolum internum (H00.02).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H00.031 (eyelid), H00.032 (eyelid), H00.033 (right eye, unspecified eyelid), H00.034 (eyelid), H00.035 (eyelid), H00.036 (left eye, unspecified eyelid) and H00.039 (unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
