About 09C80ZZ
09C80ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left tympanic membrane using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other myringotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.09).
For a different body part, codes include 09C00ZZ (right external ear), 09C10ZZ (left external ear), 09C30ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09C40ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09C50ZZ (right middle ear), 09C60ZZ (left middle ear) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09C83ZZ (percutaneous), 09C84ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09C87ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09C88ZZ (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.
