About 09T80ZZ
09T80ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the left tympanic membrane using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of middle ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.59).
For a different body part, codes include 09T00ZZ (right external ear), 09T10ZZ (left external ear), 09T50ZZ (right middle ear), 09T60ZZ (left middle ear), 09T70ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09T90ZZ (right auditory ossicle) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09T84ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09T87ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09T88ZZ (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) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
