About 099P8ZZ
099P8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the accessory sinus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to puncture of nasal sinus for aspiration or lavage, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (22.01).
For a different body part, codes include 09938ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09948ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09958ZZ (right middle ear), 09968ZZ (left middle ear), 09978ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09988ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 099P0ZZ (open), 099P3ZZ (percutaneous), 099P4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 099P7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
With a different device, use 099P80Z (drainage device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
