About 099F00Z
099F00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right eustachian tube using an open 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 operations on eustachian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.8).
For a different body part, codes include 099000Z (right external ear), 099100Z (left external ear), 099300Z (right external auditory canal), 099400Z (left external auditory canal), 099500Z (right middle ear), 099600Z (left middle ear) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 099F30Z (percutaneous), 099F40Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 099F70Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 099F80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 099F0ZZ (no device).
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.
