About the 09H Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (code 09H) involves putting in a device or radioactive element into a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation is specifically applied to the Ear, Nose, and Sinus systems for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.

Examples of ear, nose, sinus insertion codes illustrate a wide range of devices inserted by various approaches. For instance, the Insertion of a Multiple Channel Cochlear Prosthesis into the Right Inner Ear can be coded via an Open Approach (09HD06Z), Percutaneous Approach (09HD36Z), or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (09HD46Z). Similarly, Insertion of Airway devices into the Nasopharynx is documented with natural or artificial opening approaches, both endoscopic and non-endoscopic (e.g., 09HN7BZ, 09HN8BZ). This detailed coding supports accurate recording of different devices such as bone conduction hearing devices, radioactive elements, and various other implants tailored to specific anatomical sites and procedural methods.

Questions About This Page

How many billable codes are in the 09H range?

Of the 75 codes in this range, 74 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.

What does the 09H range classify?

The range classifies Insertion procedures, putting in a non-biological appliance that monitors, assists, performs or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part, performed on the ear, nose, sinus. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
