ICD-10 Code H93.091 – Unspecified degenerative and vascular disorders of right ear (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H93.091 – Unspecified degenerative and vascular disorders of right ear
What it is
H93.091 identifies a nonspecific degenerative or vascular disorder affecting the right ear. Use it when documentation confirms a right-ear condition in this category but does not name a more specific diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may describe ear-related structural change, vascular involvement, or chronic nonspecific degeneration without a more precise named disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents an unspecified degenerative and vascular disorder limited to the right ear. It is appropriate when laterality is clear and the record does not support a more specific ear diagnosis. Check documentation if the note only mentions ear pain, hearing loss, or another symptom.
Do not use for
Do not use H93.091 for left or bilateral ear conditions, or for diagnoses that are more specific than unspecified degenerative and vascular disorders. If the chart names another ear disorder, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Verify right-sided laterality in the assessment or impression before assigning H93.091.
