About 09TK8ZZ

09TK8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to resection of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.4).

For a different body part, codes include 09T58ZZ (right middle ear), 09T68ZZ (left middle ear), 09T78ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09T88ZZ (left tympanic membrane), 09T98ZZ (right auditory ossicle), 09TA8ZZ (left auditory ossicle) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09TK0ZZ (open), 09TK4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09TKXZZ (external).

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.
