ICD-10 Code H61.192 – Noninfective disorders of pinna, left ear (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H61.192 – Noninfective disorders of pinna, left ear
What it is
This code identifies a noninfective condition affecting the left pinna, or outer ear. Use it when the problem is localized to the auricle and is not caused by infection.
Clinical signs
Findings may include swelling, pain, redness, deformity, thickening, or other visible changes of the left external ear. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H61.192 when the provider documents a noninfectious disorder of the left pinna, such as trauma-related change, inflammation without infection, or another specified auricular abnormality. Code it only when the left side is clearly identified. Check documentation if the cause or site is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for infectious ear conditions or disorders limited to the ear canal or middle ear. If the documentation does not specify the left pinna, choose a more accurate code.
Coding tip
Always confirm both laterality and that the condition is noninfective before assigning H61.192.
