H90.3

Billable

Sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

Hearing loss in both ears caused by damage to the inner ear or hearing nerve, affecting the ability to process sound signals.

Coding Tips

  • •Sensorineural hearing loss results from inner ear or auditory nerve damage, often from aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors.
  • •This bilateral code should not be used if hearing loss is unilateral; use H90.41 or H90.42 for unilateral cases.
