Y72Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents

Y72 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents. It belongs to block Y70-Y82 (medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Y72.0 (incidents), Y72.1 (incidents), Y72.2 (incidents), Y72.3 (incidents) and Y72.8 (classified).

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