About coding Tarsitis
The ICD-10-CM code for Tarsitis is H01.8 (Other specified inflammations of eyelid). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H01.8.
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).
