About 09CK4ZZ
09CK4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.1).
For a different body part, codes include 09C04ZZ (right external ear), 09C14ZZ (left external ear), 09C34ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09C44ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09C74ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09C84ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09CK0ZZ (open), 09CK3ZZ (percutaneous), 09CK8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 09CKXZZ (external).
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.
