H72 Perforation of tympanic membrane
ICD-10-CM category H72 sits in Chapter 8 (Diseases of the ear and mastoid process, H60-H95). It contains 24 billable codes for FY2027, effective October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. Always code to the most specific code available: a code with more characters that describes the diagnosis more precisely takes priority over a shorter one.
