About coding acoustic nerve neuritis
The ICD-10-CM code for acoustic nerve neuritis is H93.3 (Disorders of acoustic nerve). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on H93.3.
Within H93 (other disorders of ear, not elsewhere classified), H93.3 is specifically for disorders of acoustic nerve. Related codes cover degenerative and vascular disorders of ear (H93.0), tinnitus (H93.1), other abnormal auditory perceptions (H93.2), other specified disorders of ear (H93.8), unspecified disorder of ear (H93.9) and Pulsatile tinnitus (H93.A).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H93.3X (nerve).
Don't report H93.3 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: acoustic neuroma (D33.3) and syphilitic acoustic neuritis (A52.15).
