About 09CF3ZZ
09CF3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right eustachian tube using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter 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 09C03ZZ (right external ear), 09C13ZZ (left external ear), 09C33ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09C43ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09C73ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09C83ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09CF0ZZ (open), 09CF4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09CF7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09CF8ZZ (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.
