About 09QF7ZZ

09QF7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right eustachian tube using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to operations on eustachian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.8).

For a different body part, codes include 09Q37ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09Q47ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09Q77ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09Q87ZZ (left tympanic membrane), 09QG7ZZ (left eustachian tube), 09QL7ZZ (nasal turbinate) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09QF0ZZ (open), 09QF3ZZ (percutaneous), 09QF4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09QF8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 09QFXZZ (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.
