About 09HH01Z

09HH01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the right ear using an open 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 09HD01Z (right inner ear), 09HE01Z (left inner ear), 09HJ01Z (left ear), 09HK01Z (nasal mucosa and soft tissue) and 09HY01Z (sinus).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09HH31Z (percutaneous), 09HH41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 09HH71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 09HH81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 09HH0YZ (other device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
