ICD-10-CM Code H72.812
Multiple perforations of tympanic membrane, left ear

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

H72.812 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of multiple perforations of tympanic membrane, left ear. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code H72 is used to code Perforated eardrum

A perforated eardrum or punctured eardrum is a rupture or perforation (hole) of the eardrum which can occur as a result of otitis media (ear infection), trauma (e.g. by trying to clean the ear with sharp instruments), explosion, loud noise or surgery (accidental creation of a rupture). Flying with a severe cold can also cause perforation due to changes in air pressure and blocked eustachian tubes resulting from the cold. This is especially true on landing.
