About F13ZB1Z

F13ZB1Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a hearing assessment procedure on the none using a stenger approach with audiometer (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, hearing assessment means measurement of hearing and related functions.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other auditory and vestibular function tests, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (95.46).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded F13Z01Z (hearing screening), F13Z11Z (pure tone audiometry, air), F13Z21Z (pure tone audiometry, air and bone), F13Z31Z (bekesy audiometry), F13Z41Z (conditioned play audiometry), F13Z51Z (select picture audiometry) and 5 more.

With a different device, use F13ZB2Z (sound field / booth) and F13ZBZZ (none).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
