About H81.0
H81.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Meniere's disease. It belongs to category H81 (disorders of vestibular function), block H80-H83 (diseases of inner ear) 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.
Within H81 (disorders of vestibular function), H81.0 is specifically for Meniere's disease. Related codes cover benign paroxysmal vertigo (H81.1), vestibular neuronitis (H81.2), other peripheral vertigo (H81.3), vertigo of central origin (H81.4), other disorders of vestibular function (H81.8) and unspecified disorder of vestibular function (H81.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H81.01 (right ear), H81.02 (left ear), H81.03 (bilateral) and H81.09 (unspecified ear).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
