Wiki Icd 10 code retained tube

[njbrown]

What dx code would you use for retained myringotomy tube in ear ?

If the provider is just noting the continued presence of the tube, I would use Z96.22. If the provider is indicating that this is a complication of the tube, a complication code such as H95.89 and/or T85.698A may be more appropriate depending on the context. It may be necessary to query for more information if this is all you have to go on.

When I put retained tube through codify it is giving me H74.8X other specified disorders of middle ear and mastoid. That is why I was wanting to see what others were using as well.
