H90.72
BillableMixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral, left ear, with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Mixed hearing loss affecting only the left ear while the right ear has normal or unrestricted hearing ability.
Coding Tips
- •Verify that the right ear has normal hearing function to justify the 'unrestricted' designation
- •Do not use this code if both ears are affected or if the contralateral ear also has hearing loss
