About This Chapter

Chapter 8 of the ICD-10-CM classification covers diseases of the ear and mastoid process, spanning codes H60-H95. These codes are used by healthcare providers to document diagnoses in your electronic health record (EHR), on insurance claims, and on medical bills.

Why this matters: If you see a code starting with H on your medical bill or health records, it likely falls in this chapter. Understanding what chapter your code belongs to can help you make sense of your diagnosis and ask better questions at your next appointment.
