About 09QQ3ZZ
09QQ3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right maxillary sinus using a percutaneous 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 other repair of nasal sinus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (22.79).
For a different body part, codes include 09Q03ZZ (right external ear), 09Q13ZZ (left external ear), 09Q23ZZ (bilateral external ear), 09Q33ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09Q43ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09Q73ZZ (right tympanic membrane) and 17 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09QQ0ZZ (open), 09QQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09QQ8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 135 (Sinus and Mastoid Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 136 (Sinus and Mastoid Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Sinus and Mastoid Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
