About 09UK8KZ
09UK8KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.89).
For a different body part, codes include 09U58KZ (right middle ear), 09U68KZ (left middle ear), 09U78KZ (right tympanic membrane), 09U88KZ (left tympanic membrane), 09U98KZ (right auditory ossicle), 09UA8KZ (left auditory ossicle) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09UK0KZ (open) and 09UKXKZ (external).
With a different device, use 09UK87Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 09UK8JZ (synthetic substitute).
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 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
