About 09PJ7YZ

09PJ7YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left ear using a via natural or artificial opening approach with other 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 other therapeutic device from head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.39).

For a different body part, codes include 09PH7YZ (right ear), 09PK7YZ (nasal mucosa and soft tissue) and 09PY7YZ (sinus).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09PJ0YZ (open), 09PJ3YZ (percutaneous), 09PJ4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09PJ8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 09PJ70Z (drainage device), 09PJ77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 09PJ7DZ (intraluminal device), 09PJ7JZ (synthetic substitute) and 09PJ7KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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 FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
