About ICD-9-CM 380.23
380.23 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other chronic otitis externa. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as H60.60 (Unspecified chronic otitis externa, unspecified ear), H60.8X1 (Other otitis externa, right ear) and H60.90 (Unspecified otitis externa, unspecified ear). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
