About 09BK3ZZ
09BK3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to excision or destruction of lesion of nose, not otherwise specified and local excision or destruction of other lesion of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (21.30 and 21.32).
For a different body part, codes include 09B03ZZ (right external ear), 09B13ZZ (left external ear), 09B33ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09B43ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09B73ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09B83ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09BK0ZZ (open), 09BK4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09BK8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 09BKXZZ (external).
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.
