H61.392
BillableOther acquired stenosis of left external ear canal
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Narrowing of the left ear canal that developed after birth, not caused by a congenital condition. This can result from scarring, inflammation, or other acquired causes.
Coding Tips
- •Verify laterality is specifically documented as left; if bilateral or unspecified, use different codes
- •Distinguish from congenital stenosis (H61.3) and ensure documentation supports 'acquired' etiology
