ICD-10
The ICD-10 codes for Acute Suppurative Otitis Media are:
Acute Suppurative Otitis Media — ICD-10 Codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| H66.0 | Acute suppurative otitis media |
| H66.00 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, unspecified ear |
| H66.001 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, right ear |
| H66.002 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, left ear |
| H66.003 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, bilateral |
| H66.004 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, right ear |
| H66.005 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, left ear |
| H66.006 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, bilateral |
| H66.007 | Acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, unspecified ear |
| H66.01 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum |
| H66.011 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, right ear |
| H66.012 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, left ear |
| H66.013 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, bilateral |
| H66.014 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, right ear |
| H66.015 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, left ear |
| H66.016 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, bilateral |
| H66.017 | Acute suppurative otitis media with spontaneous rupture of ear drum, recurrent, unspecified ear |
Key Points for Coding
- H66.0x falls under the broader category H66 — Suppurative and unspecified otitis media
- The fifth character specifies laterality (right, left, bilateral, unspecified)
- A 6th character distinguishes recurrent cases
- The critical distinction is whether there is spontaneous rupture of the tympanic membrane (H66.00 vs H66.01)
- If the causative organism needs to be coded, add an additional code from B95–B97 (bacterial/viral agents)
Related Codes to Know
| Code | Description |

| H66.3 | Other chronic suppurative otitis media |
| H66.4 | Suppurative otitis media, unspecified |
| H65.0 | Acute serous otitis media |
| H65.1 | Other acute nonsuppurative otitis media |
