381.3, 382.9 or 382.4? I'm leaning toward 381.3.

Thanks in advance:confused:

Look in your alphabetic index under Otitis, chronic, with effusion. This directs you to 381.3 in your tabular list. This shows otitis media, chronic, with effusion. There is no guessing involved, and no coder should guess when the required resources are available.

Always use your ICD-9 book as the definitive source. If you don't have a current ICD-9 book, get one.
