ICD-10 Code H93.092 – Unspecified degenerative and vascular disorders of left ear (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H93.092 – Unspecified degenerative and vascular disorders of left ear
What it is
This code identifies a left-ear disorder affecting degenerative or vascular structures, but the specific condition is not named in the record. Use it when documentation confirms a degenerative or vascular ear problem on the left side without further detail.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include persistent ear symptoms, abnormal otoscopic or specialist examination results, or evidence of a degenerative or vascular process affecting the left ear.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a degenerative or vascular disorder of the left ear and does not specify the exact diagnosis. It is appropriate when laterality is clear, but the condition remains unspecified in the note or report. Check documentation if the record instead names a more precise ear disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for right- or bilateral-ear conditions, or when the provider identifies a different, more specific ear diagnosis. If the record only describes nonspecific ear pain or hearing loss, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the wording “degenerative” or “vascular” before assigning H93.092.
