ICD-10 Code H95.193 – Other disorders following mastoidectomy, bilateral ears (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H95.193 – Other disorders following mastoidectomy, bilateral ears
What it is
This code identifies other postoperative ear disorders occurring after mastoidectomy in both ears. Use it for documented complications or residual problems that do not fit a more specific postprocedural code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see persistent postoperative pain, drainage, infection, granulation tissue, or delayed healing after mastoid surgery in both ears.
When to use this code
Use H95.193 when the record clearly states a bilateral post-mastoidectomy disorder and no more specific diagnosis is documented. It is appropriate for residual or other postoperative conditions tied to prior mastoidectomy. Check documentation if laterality or the exact complication is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for routine postoperative follow-up with no complication, or for a unilateral condition. If the documented problem has a more specific diagnosis, code that instead.
Coding tip
Verify the surgeon’s note for bilateral involvement and the exact postoperative problem before assigning H95.193.
