About 098L7ZZ

098L7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the nasal turbinate using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to fracture of the turbinates, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.62).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 098L0ZZ (open), 098L3ZZ (percutaneous), 098L4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 098L8ZZ (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), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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