About coding tinnitus NOS
The ICD-10-CM code for tinnitus NOS is H93.1 (Tinnitus). The official index lists 4 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H93.1.
Within H93 (other disorders of ear, not elsewhere classified), H93.1 is specifically for tinnitus. Related codes cover degenerative and vascular disorders of ear (H93.0), other abnormal auditory perceptions (H93.2), disorders of acoustic nerve (H93.3), other specified disorders of ear (H93.8), unspecified disorder of ear (H93.9) and Pulsatile tinnitus (H93.A).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H93.11 (right ear), H93.12 (left ear), H93.13 (bilateral) and H93.19 (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.
