About 097G8ZZ

097G8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the left eustachian tube using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to operations on eustachian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.8).

For a different body part, codes include 097F8ZZ (right eustachian tube) and 097N8ZZ (nasopharynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 097G0ZZ (open), 097G3ZZ (percutaneous), 097G4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 097G7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 097G8DZ (intraluminal device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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