About 09D87ZZ

09D87ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the left tympanic membrane using a via natural or artificial opening 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 09D77ZZ (right tympanic membrane) and 09DL7ZZ (nasal turbinate).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09D80ZZ (open), 09D83ZZ (percutaneous), 09D84ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09D88ZZ (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.
