H90.A11
BillableConductive hearing loss, unilateral, right ear with restricted 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
This code describes hearing loss in the right ear due to problems with sound transmission through the ear canal or middle ear, while the left ear has some hearing limitation as well. The right ear is the primary affected side, but the other ear also has reduced hearing ability.
Coding Tips
- •Verify audiometric test results in the medical record to confirm unilateral conductive hearing loss on the right side and document the specific hearing restriction level on the contralateral (left) side
- •Do not use this code if the hearing loss is sensorineural or mixed; ensure the documentation specifically indicates conductive etiology and bilateral involvement with right ear dominance
