H02.5Other disorders affecting eyelid function

H02.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders affecting eyelid function. 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H02, choose H02.5 (Other disorders affecting eyelid function) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: entropion and trichiasis of eyelid (H02.0), ectropion of eyelid (H02.1), lagophthalmos (H02.2), Blepharochalasis (H02.3), ptosis of eyelid (H02.4), Xanthelasma of eyelid (H02.6), other and unspecified degenerative disorders of eyelid and periocular area (H02.7), other specified disorders of eyelid (H02.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H02.51 (syndrome), H02.52 (Blepharophimosis), H02.53 (retraction) and H02.59 (function).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of H02.5, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: blepharospasm (G24.5), organic tic (G25.69) and psychogenic tic (F95.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
