About H69

H69 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified disorders of Eustachian tube. It belongs to block H65-H75 (diseases of middle ear and mastoid) and chapter 8 (diseases of the ear and mastoid process). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H69.0 (tube), H69.8 (tube) and H69.9 (disorder).

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