About 09UKX7Z

09UKX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using an external approach with autologous 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 09U0X7Z (right external ear), 09U1X7Z (left external ear) and 09U2X7Z (bilateral external ear).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09UK07Z (open) and 09UK87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 09UKXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 09UKXKZ (nonautologous tissue 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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
