Auditory recruitment, right ear

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

What This Code Means

Auditory recruitment is a hearing condition where the ear becomes abnormally sensitive to loud sounds, causing them to seem disproportionately loud compared to how they sound to people with normal hearing. This code specifically indicates the problem is occurring in the right ear.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify laterality is documented in the medical record before assigning the right ear (211) code; if bilateral, code both ears separately with H93.212 for left ear
  • •Auditory recruitment is often associated with sensorineural hearing loss and may be identified through audiological testing; ensure the audiologist's findings are documented to support medical necessity
