About F09Z3ZZ

F09Z3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a hearing treatment procedure on the none using a cerumen management approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, hearing treatment means application of techniques to improve, augment, or compensate for hearing and related functional impairment.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative procedures related to hearing and irrigation of ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (95.49 and 96.52).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded F09Z0ZZ (hearing and related disorders counseling), F09Z1ZZ (hearing and related disorders prevention) and F09Z2ZZ (auditory processing).

With a different device, use F09Z3XZ (cerumen management).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 945 (Rehabilitation with CC/MCC) and DRG 946 (Rehabilitation without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Rehabilitation”.

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