No. This is a category header that groups the codes for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified need a more specific code from this category, such as H95.00, H95.01, and H95.02.
