About 09PKX7Z

09PKX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using an external approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.1).

For a different body part, codes include 09PHX7Z (right ear) and 09PJX7Z (left ear).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09PK07Z (open), 09PK37Z (percutaneous), 09PK47Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 09PK77Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 09PK87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 09PKX0Z (drainage device), 09PKXDZ (intraluminal device), 09PKXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 09PKXKZ (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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
