About H02.20C

H02.20C is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified lagophthalmos, bilateral, upper and lower eyelids. It belongs to category H02 (other disorders of eyelid), block H00-H05 (disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within H02.20 (unspecified lagophthalmos), H02.20C is specifically for unspecified lagophthalmos, bilateral, upper and lower eyelids. Related codes cover right upper eyelid (H02.201), right lower eyelid (H02.202), right eye, unspecified eyelid (H02.203), left upper eyelid (H02.204), left lower eyelid (H02.205), left eye, unspecified eyelid (H02.206), unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid (H02.209), right eye, upper and lower eyelids (H02.20A) and 1 more.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It was added in FY2019, effective October 1, 2018.
