About H02.735

H02.735 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Vitiligo of left lower eyelid and periocular area. 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 H02.73 (Vitiligo of eyelid and periocular area), H02.735 is specifically for Vitiligo of left lower eyelid and periocular area. Related codes cover right upper eyelid and periocular area (H02.731), right lower eyelid and periocular area (H02.732), right eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (H02.733), left upper eyelid and periocular area (H02.734), left eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (H02.736) and unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid and periocular area (H02.739).

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 374.53 (Hypopigmentation of eyelid).
