About coding pinna noninfective disorder

The ICD-10-CM code for pinna noninfective disorder is H61.10 (Unspecified noninfective disorders of pinna). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H61.10.

Within H61.1, choose H61.10 (Unspecified noninfective disorders of pinna) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acquired deformity of pinna (H61.11), hematoma of pinna (H61.12) and other noninfective disorders of pinna (H61.19).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H61.101 (right ear), H61.102 (left ear), H61.103 (bilateral) and H61.109 (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.
