To code for a bilateral ear infection, use the ICD-10-CM codes H65.23 (bilateral acute serous otitis media) or H66.23 (bilateral acute suppurative otitis media), depending on the specific type of infection. Ensure you document the clinical details, such as symptoms and duration, to justify the coding. Always refer to the latest coding guidelines for accuracy.
