About 09D70ZZ

09D70ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the right tympanic membrane using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of middle ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.59).

For a different body part, codes include 09D80ZZ (left tympanic membrane), 09D90ZZ (right auditory ossicle), 09DA0ZZ (left auditory ossicle), 09DB0ZZ (right mastoid sinus), 09DC0ZZ (left mastoid sinus), 09DL0ZZ (nasal turbinate) and 10 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09D73ZZ (percutaneous), 09D74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09D77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09D78ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
