To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the five child codes of H72 that describes the diagnosis 'perforation of tympanic membrane' in more detail.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H66.01 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S09.2 "Includes" further defines, or give examples of, the content of the code or category. A temporary or persistent opening in the eardrum (tympanic membrane). Clinical signs depend on the size, location, and associated pathological condition.
Tympanic membrane perforations are holes in the eardrum that most commonly occur as a consequence of either ear infections or trauma to the ear.
Tympanic membrane perforation is when there is a tear in the tympanic membrane leading to a connection between the external auditory canal and the middle ear. This can be caused by infection, trauma, or rapid changes in pressure leading to sudden otalgia, otorrhea, tinnitus, and vertigo.
Often, no specific treatment is needed. The ear should be kept dry; routine antibiotic ear drops are unnecessary. However, prophylaxis with oral broad-spectrum antibiotics or antibiotic ear drops is necessary if contaminants may have entered through the perforation as occurs in dirty injuries.
The tympanic membrane is also called the eardrum. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear. When sound waves reach the tympanic membrane they cause it to vibrate.
Symptoms include sudden ear pain, or sudden decrease in ear pain, discharge (which may be bloody) or hearing loss. The vast majority of ruptured eardrums will heal without treatment. A simple perforation of the ear drum as part of acute otitis media does NOT need referral unless it persists > 6 weeks.
A number of things can cause the eardrum to rupture; one of the most common causes is an ear infection. When the middle ear is infected, pressure builds up and pushes against the eardrum.
Tympanic membrane perforations can cause a conductive hearing loss (where the sound does not reach the inner ear). In general, the larger the hole, the larger the hearing loss. A hearing test (audiogram) can easily check how much hearing loss there is. Tympanic membrane perforations can cause ear infections.
The tympanic membrane is thin and semi-transparent with a pearly, gray appearance. It is composed of three layers: An outer, epithelial (ectodermal)layer; a middle, fibrous layer; and an inner, mucosal(endodermal) layer that is continuous with the squamous lining of the middle ear cavity.
Numbering the four quadrants on the images of the tympanic membrane (TM): 1, anterosuperior; 2, anteroinferior; 3, posteroinferior; 4, posterosuperior.
The normal tympanic membrane is in the neutral position (neither retracted nor bulging), pearly gray, translucent and responding briskly to positive and negative pressure, indicating an air-filled space.
A perforated eardrum or punctured eardrum is a rupture or perforation (hole) of the eardrum which can occur as a result of otitis media (ear infection), trauma (e.g. by trying to clean the ear with sharp instruments), explosion, loud noise or surgery (accidental creation of a rupture).

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H72.90 and a single ICD9 code, 384.20 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
ICD Code H72 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the five child codes of H72 that describes the diagnosis 'perforation of tympanic membrane' in more detail. H72 Perforation of tympanic membrane. NON-BILLABLE.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code H72 is a non-billable code.
