Other acute nonsuppurative otitis media, recurrent, left ear

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

What This Code Means

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation confirms recurrent episodes (multiple occurrences) rather than a single acute episode
  • •Ensure laterality is clearly documented as left ear to support the specific code selection
