F13ZDZZ is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Tympanometry Assessment. It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021.
Right retraction pocket of tympanic membrane ICD-10-CM H73.891 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 154 Other ear, nose, mouth and throat diagnoses with mcc 155 Other ear, nose, mouth and throat diagnoses with cc
Figure 5 shows the “Type A” curve of a normal tympanogram. This curve is shown as a thick dark line against the shaded area (shading shows the area a “normal” tympanogram would fall into). In a “Type A” curve, the peak compliance occurs at or near atmospheric pressure indicating normal pressure within the middle ear.
Z96. 22 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96. 22 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H73. 891 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H73.
ASHA Notes 6 code in conjunction with ICD-10-CM code Z01. 110, (encounter for hearing examination following failed hearing screening) and/or specific hearing loss diagnosis codes.
ICD-10 Code for Encounter for examination of ears and hearing without abnormal findings- Z01. 10- Codify by AAPC.
Myringosclerosis and tympanosclerosis are similar conditions that affect the middle ear, causing the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to appear bright white. The whiteness is due to accumulated calcium deposits.
Myringotomy involves making an incision (cut) in your eardrum to drain excess fluid from your middle ear. Sometimes, myringotomy is performed as a standalone treatment. Often, however, it's combined with tympanostomy, which is the actual placement of ear tubes into your eardrum.
Encounter for other preprocedural examinationICD-10 code Z01. 818 for Encounter for other preprocedural examination is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Encounter for examination of ears and hearing without abnormal findings. Z01. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z01.
Hearing aid checks are reported using 92592 or 92593.
An audiometry exam tests your ability to hear sounds. Sounds vary, based on their loudness (intensity) and the speed of sound wave vibrations (tone).
The difference between 92551 and 92552 is slight, but very important when doing medical billing. 92552 changes both intensity and frequency while 92551 only changes frequency while the intensity stays the same. Billing for the medical code 92552 when a 92551 was performed is fraudulent whether you realize it or not.
Anything less than 12 frequencies will require reporting code 92587, with interpretation. What if I do both distortion product and transient evoked OAEs? You may report code 92587 with the -22 modifier (increased procedural service) to indicate the additional test.
H90: Conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Audiometry for hearing aid evaluation (Medicare and other federal payers do not recognize "S" codes; however, these codes may be useful for claims to private payers) V5008. Hearing Screening. V5010. Assessment for hearing aid.
As the descriptor states, 92551 is a screening test. It typically involves the use of a device that produces a series of tones. If the patient does not hear a certain number of tones, depending on the standard used by the office, he or she fails the test.
CPT® code 92557 will also be covered if ordered and performed in conjunction with Vestibular Function Testing (VFT), instead of CPT® code 92553, when the speech recognition component of the CPT® code 92557 is reasonable and necessary in the diagnosis or treatment of an individual Medicare beneficiary (e.g., Vestibular ...
The Academy’s new clinical practice guidelines recommend audiometric and aided threshold testing and speech-perception testing using appropriately fit amplification, as well as non-behavioral tests of auditory system function (e.g., otoacoustic emissions, immittance testing, and auditory brainstem response) (Messersmith et al, 2019).
The Academy’s clinical practice guidelines recommend intraoperative test measures by the audiologist, which may include evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (ESRT), electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAP), neural response telemetry (NRT), neural response imaging (NRI), and auditory nerve response telemetry (ART) in order to verify the function of the device during surgery (Messersmith et al, 2019).
The Academy’s clinical practice guidelines recommend measuring electrode impedances, establishing the electrical dynamic range (EDR) via behavioral and objective measures, including ESRT and ECAP measures; optimizing the programming via loudness balancing and pitch scaling; and ensuring comfort and reliability (Messersmith et al, 2019).
The Academy’s clinical practice guidelines recommend outcomes assessments at regular intervals after initial stimulation to document device benefit, as well as to determine if any programming adjustments are necessary (Messersmith et al, 2019).
Numerous supplies may be billed in association with a patient’s device (s). A list of these codes can be found on the Academy’s website (audiology.org; go to Practice Management > Coding > ICD-10). Many clinics have found that it is not cost-effective to directly bill for cochlear implant equipment.
Adults and children with severe to profound hearing loss can benefit greatly from cochlear implantation and reap the quality of life benefits associated with better hearing.

The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
