Meniere's disease, right ear

This code signifies Meniere's disease affecting the right ear. It describes a chronic inner ear disorder characterized by episodes of vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness, specifically localized to the right side.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of Meniere's disease with symptoms and findings lateralized to the right ear. This typically includes physician notes detailing the characteristic triad of symptoms, audiometry results showing right-sided hearing loss, and vestibular testing confirming right ear involvement.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "right ear" involvement for Meniere's disease.
• Do not confuse with other forms of vertigo or inner ear disorders; Meniere's has a specific diagnostic criteria.
• Consider co-reporting codes for associated symptoms like tinnitus (H93.1-) or hearing loss (H90.3-) if separately documented and treated.
