H66.0 — Acute suppurative otitis media
Is H66.0 billable?
No — H66.0 is a non-billable header code. H66.0 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 16 billable codes beneath H66.0.

Use additional code — inherited from H66
Report an additional code alongside H66.0 to fully describe the condition. H66.0 is sequenced first.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 8
The conditions below are not part of H66.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H66.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
