H93.A3

Billable

Pulsatile tinnitus, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A rhythmic ringing or whooshing sound in both ears that pulses in time with the heartbeat, often caused by blood vessel abnormalities or increased blood flow.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies bilateral involvement; if only one ear is affected, use H93.A1 or H93.A2 instead
  • •Investigate the underlying cause (vascular malformation, aneurysm, etc.) as this may require additional coding
