About 09J84ZZ

09J84ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the left tympanic membrane using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on middle and inner ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.39).

For a different body part, codes include 09J74ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09JD4ZZ (right inner ear), 09JE4ZZ (left inner ear), 09JH4ZZ (right ear), 09JJ4ZZ (left ear), 09JK4ZZ (nasal mucosa and soft tissue) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09J80ZZ (open), 09J83ZZ (percutaneous), 09J87ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 09J88ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 09J8XZZ (external).

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) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

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