About 09BB3ZZ
09BB3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right mastoid sinus using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other mastoidectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.49).
For a different body part, codes include 09B03ZZ (right external ear), 09B13ZZ (left external ear), 09B33ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09B43ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09B73ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09B83ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09BB0ZZ (open), 09BB4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09BB8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 135 (Sinus and Mastoid Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 136 (Sinus and Mastoid Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Sinus and Mastoid Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
