About 09DL4ZZ
09DL4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the nasal turbinate using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 turbinectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.69).
For a different body part, codes include 09D74ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09D84ZZ (left tympanic membrane), 09DB4ZZ (right mastoid sinus), 09DC4ZZ (left mastoid sinus), 09DM4ZZ (nasal septum), 09DP4ZZ (accessory sinus) and 8 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09DL0ZZ (open), 09DL3ZZ (percutaneous), 09DL7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09DL8ZZ (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), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
