Unspecified entropion of right lower eyelid

This code signifies an inward turning of the margin of the right lower eyelid, where the eyelashes rub against the globe, but the specific cause or type of entropion (e.g., spastic, cicatricial, involutional) is not documented. This condition can lead to corneal irritation, epiphora, and potential vision impairment if left untreated.

This code is appropriate when the physician's documentation clearly states entropion of the right lower eyelid, but does not specify the etiology or type. It should be used when the clinical information is limited to the anatomical location and the general diagnosis of entropion.

• Always seek clarification from the provider if the type of entropion is not documented, as more specific codes exist (e.g., H02.01- for spastic, H02.02- for senile).
• Ensure the laterality (right) and eyelid (lower) are explicitly stated in the medical record to support this specific code.
• Do not use this code if the entropion is congenital (Q10.2) or due to a burn (T26.-).
