About 09PD7SZ

09PD7SZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right inner ear using a via natural or artificial opening approach with hearing device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on middle and inner ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.99).

For a different body part, codes include 09PE7SZ (left inner ear).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09PD0SZ (open) and 09PD8SZ (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.
