H90.A12

Billable

Conductive hearing loss, unilateral, left 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

Conductive hearing loss in the left ear only, with the right ear also having some degree of hearing loss or restriction.

Coding Tips

  • •The 'A' subcategory indicates restricted hearing on the contralateral side; ensure documentation specifies the degree of hearing loss in both ears
  • •This differs from H90.72 because it involves conductive loss only, not mixed loss
