I want to know what is the difference between these two codes:

388.70 Otalgia, unspecified "earache NOS"
388.71 Otogenic pain

Thanks in advance!!
 
Hi,

388.71 - Otogenic pain (pain originates from inside the ear)
388.72 - Referred Otogenic pain (pain originates from outside the ear)

388.70 - Unspecified (not specified as otogenic or referred)

Hope this helps!

Thanks
