About 091D070

091D070 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right inner ear using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: endolymphatic). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Endolymphatic shunt, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.71).

For a different body part, codes include 091E070 (left inner ear).

With a different device, use 091D0J0 (synthetic substitute), 091D0K0 (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 091D0Z0 (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
