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.
