H94.0 — Acoustic neuritis in infectious and parasitic diseases classified elsewhere
Is H94.0 billable?
No — H94.0 is a non-billable header code. H94.0 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 4 billable codes beneath H94.0.

How is H94.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to H94.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Neuritis › acoustic › in › infectious disease NEC (rheumatoid)
- Neuritis › acoustic › in › parasitic disease NEC (rheumatoid)
Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with H94.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Code first
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before H94.0. H94.0 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- underlying disease, such as:
- parasitic disease (B65-B89)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 8
The conditions below are not part of H94.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H94.0 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)

How long has H94.0 existed?
H94.0 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
