About 0C9S80Z

0C9S80Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the larynx using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of larynx or trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0C9M80Z (pharynx), 0C9R80Z (epiglottis), 0C9T80Z (right vocal cord) and 0C9V80Z (left vocal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0C9S00Z (open), 0C9S30Z (percutaneous), 0C9S40Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0C9S70Z (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0C9S8ZZ (no device).

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.
