Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

H95 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Other codes that can never be billed with H95

  • H61.3Acquired stenosis of external ear canal
  • H95.2Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of ear and mastoid process complicating a procedure

H95 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead H95

7 child codes. Green means billable.
