The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 27 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 09CP0ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Accessory Sinus, Open Approach), 09CP3ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Accessory Sinus, Percutaneous Approach) and 09CP4ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Accessory Sinus, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
