About 09QG8ZZ
09QG8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left eustachian tube using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to operations on eustachian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (20.8).
For a different body part, codes include 09Q38ZZ (right external auditory canal), 09Q48ZZ (left external auditory canal), 09Q58ZZ (right middle ear), 09Q68ZZ (left middle ear), 09Q78ZZ (right tympanic membrane), 09Q88ZZ (left tympanic membrane) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 09QG0ZZ (open), 09QG3ZZ (percutaneous), 09QG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 09QG7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 09QGXZZ (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.
