About H01.8

H01.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified inflammations of eyelid. It belongs to category H01 (other inflammation of eyelid), 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H01, choose H01.8 (Other specified inflammations of eyelid) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: blepharitis (H01.0), noninfectious dermatoses of eyelid (H01.1) and unspecified inflammation of eyelid (H01.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H01.81 (eyelid), H01.82 (eyelid), H01.83 (eyelid), H01.84 (eyelid), H01.85 (eyelid), H01.86 (eyelid), H01.89 (eyelid), H01.8A (eyelids) and 1 more.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2026 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 373.8 (other inflammations of eyelids).
