I am looking for a link or guidance to reporting the correct ICD-10 code for all of the ear infection/manifestations. What would be the difference between Otitis externa and swimmers ear?
There seems to be so many of these visits this time of year with swimming and upper resp. infections.
Need help with Internal/external/acute/chronic/ect. just looking for some information to clarify what needs documented for each individual scenario.
Thank-you!
