About H92.2

H92.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Otorrhagia. It belongs to category H92 (Otalgia and effusion of ear), block H90-H94 (other disorders of 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 H92 (Otalgia and effusion of ear), H92.2 is specifically for Otorrhagia. Related codes cover Otalgia (H92.0) and otorrhea (H92.1).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H92.20 (unspecified ear), H92.21 (right ear), H92.22 (left ear) and H92.23 (bilateral).

Don't report H92.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: traumatic otorrhagia - code to injury.

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