About 09HD31Z

09HD31Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the right inner ear using a percutaneous approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 09HE31Z (left inner ear), 09HH31Z (right ear), 09HJ31Z (left ear), 09HK31Z (nasal mucosa and soft tissue) and 09HY31Z (sinus).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09HD01Z (open) and 09HD41Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 09HD34Z (hearing device, bone conduction), 09HD35Z (hearing device, single channel cochlear prosthesis), 09HD36Z (hearing device, multiple channel cochlear prosthesis) and 09HD3SZ (hearing device).

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”.
