About 09PJ0YZ

09PJ0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left ear using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on middle and inner ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.99).

For a different body part, codes include 09PH0YZ (right ear), 09PK0YZ (nasal mucosa and soft tissue) and 09PY0YZ (sinus).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09PJ3YZ (percutaneous), 09PJ4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09PJ7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09PJ8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 09PJ00Z (drainage device), 09PJ07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 09PJ0DZ (intraluminal device), 09PJ0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 09PJ0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
