Question

A patient is admitted with sensorineural deafness of the left ear. The patient was fitted for a hearing aid.

a) H90.42, Z68.41
b) H90.41, Z68.42
c) H90.42, Z68.42
d) H90.41, Z68.41

Answer 1

The correct answer is b) H90.41, Z68.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b) H90.41, Z68.42.

The ICD-10 codes provided in the options are used to classify and code diseases and medical procedures. H90.41 represents sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral, left ear, and Z68.42 represents body mass index (BMI) 32.0-32.9.

In this case, the patient is admitted with sensorineural deafness of the left ear, so the correct codes would be H90.41 for the hearing loss and Z68.42 for the BMI range.
