ICD-10 Code H81.313 – Aural vertigo, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H81.313 – Aural vertigo, bilateral
What it is
H81.313 identifies a diagnosis of aural vertigo affecting both ears. Use it when the record documents vertigo linked to the ear system on both sides.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical notes may include dizziness or spinning sensation associated with bilateral ear involvement, with possible balance disturbance.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider clearly documents bilateral aural vertigo or vertigo of ear origin on both sides. It is appropriate when laterality is specified and both ears are involved. Check documentation if the note only says vertigo without an ear-related cause.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific dizziness, central vertigo, or vertigo without documented bilateral ear involvement. If the record does not support an ear-related cause, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the aural cause and bilateral laterality in the provider note before assigning H81.313.
