About 099U7ZZ
099U7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right ethmoid sinus using a via natural or artificial opening 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 09937ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09947ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09957ZZ (right middle ear), 09967ZZ (left middle ear), 09977ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09987ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 099U0ZZ (open), 099U3ZZ (percutaneous), 099U4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 099U8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 099U70Z (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.
