H02.006 — Unspecified entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid
Is H02.006 billable?
Yes, but H02.006 is an unspecified code. H02.006 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, H02.006 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting H02.006 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from H02
The conditions below can never be reported together with H02.006 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- congenital malformations of eyelid (Q10.0-Q10.3)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 7
The conditions below are not part of H02.006, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H02.006 and the excluded code may both be reported.
