About 09WH0YZ
09WH0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right ear using an open approach with other 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 09WJ0YZ (left ear), 09WK0YZ (nasal mucosa and soft tissue) and 09WY0YZ (sinus).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09WH3YZ (percutaneous), 09WH4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09WH7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09WH8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 09WH00Z (drainage device), 09WH07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 09WH0DZ (intraluminal device), 09WH0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 09WH0KZ (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) 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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
