H93.3X2
BillableDisorders of left acoustic nerve
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A disorder or disease affecting the left acoustic nerve (cranial nerve VIII), which carries sound signals from the ear to the brain.
Coding Tips
- •The 'X' is a placeholder; ensure the fifth character specifies the laterality (2=left)
- •Consider if this is secondary to another condition (tumor, infection, trauma) that should be coded separately
