Billable

Temporary auditory threshold shift, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A temporary decrease in hearing ability affecting both ears, usually resulting from acoustic exposure or trauma that is expected to improve.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure documentation specifies bilateral involvement rather than unilateral
  • •Link to the triggering event (occupational noise, concert exposure, etc.) when available
