About 095M3ZZ
095M3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the nasal septum using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.
In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision or destruction of other lesion of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.32).
For a different body part, codes include 09503ZZ (right external ear), 09513ZZ (left external ear), 09533ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09543ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09573ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09583ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 095M0ZZ (open), 095M4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 095M8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
