A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

H73.81 Atrophic flaccid tympanic membrane (also a header)
H73.82 Atrophic nonflaccid tympanic membrane (also a header)
H73.89 Other specified disorders of tympanic membrane (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
