Doctor's Impression: Ear Dermatitis. Will treat with Prednisolone ophthalmic 2 drops b.i.d. x 14 days. What is the ICD 9 for this? Is is a 692.x or 380.xx code? I am leaning to 692.1, not sure here.:confused:
 
Hi,
You can code from 692.x ,Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin. no need to take 380.xx.

Hi,
Ear Dermatitis , it means affected area is external ear, inflammation(Because of baby oil), not in the inner ear.so i think no need to take from 380.xx.
