ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System F1 - Diagnostic Audiology
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Diagnostic Audiology (Character F1) focuses on testing and measuring auditory and balance functions to assess hearing and vestibular health.
Within the Physical Rehabilitation and Diagnostic Audiology section, this operation is used to evaluate the function of the ears and related systems. For example, a Hearing Assessment (F13) measures the ability to hear sounds across various frequencies. A Hearing Aid Assessment (F14) evaluates how well a hearing device is working and its suitability for the patient. Additionally, a Vestibular Assessment (F15) measures the vestibular system, which controls balance and spatial orientation. These specialized codes capture detailed diagnostic testing essential for accurately documenting audiologic evaluations and supporting patient care in rehabilitation contexts.
