About 09UL8JZ

09UL8JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the nasal turbinate using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with synthetic 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 operations on nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.99).

For a different body part, codes include 09U58JZ (right middle ear), 09U68JZ (left middle ear), 09U78JZ (right tympanic membrane), 09U88JZ (left tympanic membrane), 09U98JZ (right auditory ossicle), 09UA8JZ (left auditory ossicle) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09UL0JZ (open), 09UL3JZ (percutaneous), 09UL4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 09UL7JZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 09UL87Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 09UL8KZ (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 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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