About 09P780Z
09P780Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right tympanic membrane using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of tympanostomy tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.1).
For a different body part, codes include 09P880Z (left tympanic membrane), 09PH80Z (right ear), 09PJ80Z (left ear) and 09PK80Z (nasal mucosa and soft tissue).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09P700Z (open), 09P770Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 09P7X0Z (external).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
