About 09WD7SZ
09WD7SZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right inner ear using a via natural or artificial opening approach with hearing device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on middle and inner ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.99).
For a different body part, codes include 09WE7SZ (left inner ear).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09WD0SZ (open) and 09WD8SZ (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.
