General Discussion. Vertigo is a sensation of spinning, whirling or turning. Individuals often feel as if the room is moving or spinning and they can lose their balance and have difficulty standing or walking. During the bouts of vertigo, affected individuals often have abnormal eye movements as well (nystagmus).
The onset of an episode of BPPV is usually sudden following changes in head position. Often, ordinary movements such as turning over on one’s side, lying down, looking up or stooping or bending over can cause an episode.
Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 780.4. Code R42 is the diagnosis code used for Dizziness and Giddiness. It is a disorder characterized by a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the patient (objective vertigo) or as if he himself were revolving in space (subjective vertigo).

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo — the sudden sensation that you're spinning or that the inside of your head is spinning. BPPV causes brief episodes of mild to intense dizziness. It is usually triggered by specific changes in your head's position.
Benign positional vertigoBenign positional vertigo (BPV) is the most common cause of vertigo, the sensation of spinning or swaying. It causes a sudden sensation of spinning, or like your head is spinning from the inside. You can have brief periods of mild or intense dizziness if you have BPV.
Vestibulopathy is defined as disorders of the inner ear, which can lead to a variety of alarming symptoms, including postural and gaze imbalance, migraines, and tinnitus.

Introduction. Central vertigo is a clinical condition in which an individual experiences hallucinations of motion of their surroundings, or a sensation of spinning, while remaining still, as a result of dysfunction of the vestibular structures in the central nervous system (CNS).
Vestibular hypofunction (VH) is a partial or complete deficit of function of the peripheral or central vestibular system. While VH may have traumatic, toxic, infectious, genetic, and neurodegenerative causes, etiology is in about 50% of cases unknown (1).

When you look at an object, you're using several muscles to move both eyes to focus on it. If you have a problem with the muscles , the eyes don't work properly.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo BP PV occurs when canalith particles (otoconia) break loose and fall into the wrong part of the semicircular canals of your inner ear, causing vertigo. ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This test uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create cross-sectional images of your head and body. Your doctor can use these images to identify and diagnose a range of conditions. MRI may be performed to rule out other possible causes of vertigo.
Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) is a disorder characterized by brief, recurrent bouts of vertigo. Vertigo is a sensation of spinning, whirling or turning. Individuals often feel as if the room is moving or spinning and they can lose their balance and have difficulty standing or walking. During the vertigo spells, affected individuals often have abnormal eye movements as well (nystagmus). BPPV is most often triggered by changes in head position. The severity of the disorder varies. In some people, it only causes mild symptoms, while in others it can potentially cause more severe, even debilitating symptoms. BPPV may disappear but sometimes it persists recurrently for many months. Most affected individuals can be easily and effectively treated by non-invasive methods such as canalith (or canalolith) repositioning maneuvers. However, BPPV may recur even after effectively treated. BPPV is believed to be caused by the displacement of small calcium carbonate crystals within the inner ear. These tiny crystals originate from the gravity and acceleration sensing structures and become inappropriately located in one of three semicircular canals, which are tiny, interconnected, looped tubes that serve to detect movements of the head and play a role in helping the body maintain balance. The exact, underlying cause of this displacement is not always known (idiopathic). Recurrences are possible because additional calcium can become dislodged. The treatment maneuvers move the calcium particles back to the main vestibule, the chamber from which they originated. This stops the vertigo. However, the maneuvers do not prevent the shedding of additional calcium crystals in the future.
Vertigo in individuals with BPPV usually lasts less than 30 seconds. Vertigo can lead to unsteadiness and a loss of balance. Additional symptoms can develop including lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision.
Vertigo in individuals with BPPV usually lasts less than 30 seconds.
Although labeled benign, BPPV can disrupt a person’s daily activities and affect quality of life. The term paroxysmal means that episodes arise suddenly and often unpredictably.
Often, ordinary movements such as turning over on one’s side, lying down, looking up, stooping or bending over can cause an episode. The severity of the disorder can vary greatly from one person to another.
The lifetime prevalence of BPPV is about 2.4% and other estimates range from 10-64 per 100,000 people in the general population. However, many physicians believe that the disorder is often misdiagnosed and that the true frequency may be higher. BPPV most often affects older adults with a peak age of onset in the sixth decade. The disorder may affect individuals of any age, but is quite uncommon in those under 20 years of age. Women are believed to be affected at least twice as often as men.
For unknown reasons, in individuals with BPPV these crystals may partially erode and small pieces of the crystals fall off and end up in one of the adjoining semicircular canals. Within the canals, these crystals may stimulate specialized sensing organ of the inner ear tubes that is called the cupula.
To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of H81.4 that describes the diagnosis 'vertigo of central origin' in more detail. H81.4 Vertigo of central origin. NON-BILLABLE.
The ICD code H814 is used to code Nystagmus. Nystagmus /nɪˈstæɡməs/ is a condition of involuntary (or voluntary, in rare cases) eye movement, acquired in infancy or later in life, that may result in reduced or limited vision. Due to the involuntary movement of the eye, it is often called "dancing eyes". [a]

Vestibular function testing using ENG and VNG testing batteries, caloric testing, or rotational chair testing may be considered medically necessary when ALL the following conditions have been met: 1 The individual has symptoms of a vestibular disorder (e.g., dizziness, vertigo, imbalance); and 2 A clinical evaluation, including maneuvers such as the Dix-Hallpike test if indicated, has failed to identify the cause of the symptoms.
Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) tests are considered experimental/investigational and therefore non-covered as their effectiveness cannot be established based on the review of published peer reviewed literature.
Videonystagmography (VNG) may be considered medically necessary for the following indication: Evaluation of individuals with symptoms of vestibular disorders (e.g., dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium or imbalance) ENG and VNG for all other conditions are considered not medically necessary.
