About 09PK7JZ

09PK7JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the nasal mucosa and soft tissue using a via natural or artificial opening approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of nose, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (21.1).

For a different body part, codes include 09PH7JZ (right ear) and 09PJ7JZ (left ear).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09PK0JZ (open), 09PK3JZ (percutaneous), 09PK4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09PK8JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 09PKXJZ (external).

With a different device, use 09PK70Z (drainage device), 09PK77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 09PK7DZ (intraluminal device), 09PK7KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 09PK7YZ (other device).

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.
