ICD-10 Code H95.19 – Other disorders following mastoidectomy (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H95.19 – Other disorders following mastoidectomy
What it is
H95.19 identifies other ear or mastoid complications that occur after mastoidectomy and are not classified elsewhere. Use it for documented postoperative disorders that do not fit a more specific code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings may include persistent postoperative ear symptoms, abnormal healing, or other mastoidectomy-related complications noted by the clinician.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly links the disorder to a prior mastoidectomy and no more specific postoperative complication code applies. It is appropriate for residual or nonspecific sequelae documented after surgery. Check documentation if the provider describes the condition in more detail.
Do not use for
Do not use H95.19 for routine postoperative recovery or for complications that have a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Also avoid it when the condition is unrelated to mastoidectomy.
Coding tip
Code the postoperative complication only when the provider documents the relationship to mastoidectomy.
