About 09QG0ZZ

09QG0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left eustachian tube using an open 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 09Q00ZZ (right external ear), 09Q10ZZ (left external ear), 09Q20ZZ (bilateral external ear), 09Q30ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09Q40ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09Q50ZZ (right middle ear) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09QG3ZZ (percutaneous), 09QG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09QG7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 09QG8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 09QGXZZ (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.
