Other acquired stenosis of external ear canal, bilateral

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Narrowing of both ear canals that developed after birth, affecting hearing and ear canal function on both sides.

Coding Tips

•Use this code only when stenosis is documented as bilateral; if only one side is affected, use laterality-specific codes
•Document the underlying cause if known (trauma, infection, inflammation) for complete clinical picture
