About 09SL4ZZ

09SL4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the nasal turbinate using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to fracture of the turbinates, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.62).

For a different body part, codes include 09S04ZZ (right external ear), 09S14ZZ (left external ear), 09S24ZZ (bilateral external ear), 09S74ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09S84ZZ (left tympanic membrane), 09S94ZZ (right auditory ossicle) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09SL0ZZ (open), 09SL7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09SL8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
