About 09CKXZZ

09CKXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of intraluminal foreign body from nose without incision, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.12).

For a different body part, codes include 09C0XZZ (right external ear), 09C1XZZ (left external ear), 09C3XZZ (right external auditory canal) and 09C4XZZ (left external auditory canal).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09CK0ZZ (open), 09CK3ZZ (percutaneous), 09CK4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09CK8ZZ (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.
