About 099D80Z
099D80Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right inner ear using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision, excision, and destruction of inner ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.79).
For a different body part, codes include 099380Z (right external auditory canal), 099480Z (left external auditory canal), 099580Z (right middle ear), 099680Z (left middle ear), 099780Z (right tympanic membrane), 099880Z (left tympanic membrane) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 099D00Z (open) and 099D70Z (via natural or artificial opening).
With a different device, use 099D8ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
