About 09BV0ZZ
09BV0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left ethmoid sinus using an open 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 Ethmoidectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (22.63).
For a different body part, codes include 09B00ZZ (right external ear), 09B10ZZ (left external ear), 09B30ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09B40ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09B50ZZ (right middle ear), 09B60ZZ (left middle ear) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09BV3ZZ (percutaneous), 09BV4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09BV8ZZ (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.
