ICD-10-PCS 099670Z converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 20.01 Myringotomy with insertion of tube Note: approximate conversions between ICD-9-CM codes and ICD-10-PCS codes may require clinical interpretation in order to determine the most appropriate conversion code (s) for your specific coding situation.
My doctor inserted a PE tube along with a myringotomy with aspiration, would the PE tubes be included in that procedure or can I code seperate. Also does anyone have any good coding seminars or information that I could attend to for this field. Thanks You would use code 69436 which includes the myringotomy and tube if done under general anesthesia.
Z96.22 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96.22 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z96.22 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z96.22 may differ.
The use of myringotomy as a stand-alone procedure is considered medically necessary for individuals who meet one or more of the following criteria: Premature infant whose adjusted age (actual age – # weeks premature) is less than 16 weeks; or

Ear tubes – also known as myringotomy tubes, tympanostomy tubes or ventilation tubes – are small tubes that are surgically placed into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon to help drain the fluid out of your child's middle ear.
The code is 66.29, Other bilateral endoscopic destruction or occlusion of fallopian tubes. The root operation Occlusion is coded when the objective of the procedure is to close off a tubular body part or orifice.

Bilateral myringotomy (BY-lat-er-ull my-ring-GOT-a-mee) and tubes is a surgery in which a small opening is made in each eardrum and a small tube is placed in the opening on each side.
Myringotomy involves making an incision (cut) in your eardrum to drain excess fluid from your middle ear. Sometimes, myringotomy is performed as a standalone treatment. Often, however, it's combined with tympanostomy, which is the actual placement of ear tubes into your eardrum.
Your fallopian tubes are located on the top and on either side of your uterus, almost like a set of horns. When you have one fallopian tube removed, it's called a unilateral salpingectomy. However, if both fallopian tubes are removed, it's referred to as bilateral salpingectomy.
Tubal ligation — also known as having your tubes tied or tubal sterilization — is a type of permanent birth control. During tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy.
CPT® Code 58954 in section: Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omentectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy and radical dissection for debulking.
A myringoplasty is an operation to repair a hole in the eardrum. Why should I have a myringoplasty? The eardrum may need to be repaired if you keep getting middle ear infections and discharge from the ear due to a hole in the drum (also known as a perforation).

A myringotomy is a procedure to create a hole in the ear drum to allow fluid that is trapped in the middle ear to drain out. The fluid may be blood, pus and/or water. In many cases, a small tube is inserted into the hole in the ear drum to help maintain drainage.
WHAT IS MYRINGOPLASTY OR TYMPANOPLASTY? Myringoplasty is an operation that is performed to close the hole (perforation) in the eardrum. A tympanoplasty helps to address any damage or scarring around the bones for hearing. Sometimes both these procedures are performed at the same time.
Ear tubes (also called myringotomy tubes or tympanostomy tubes) are very small tubes that are surgically placed in your child's eardrum by a pediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon to help treat ear infections. The purpose of the tube is to provide ventilation to the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup.
A myringotomy is a procedure to create a hole in the ear drum to allow fluid that is trapped in the middle ear to drain out. The fluid may be blood, pus and/or water. In many cases, a small tube is inserted into the hole in the ear drum to help maintain drainage.
When is a myringotomy necessary? A myringotomy may be necessary for children and adults with: Frequent ear infections (acute otitis media). Ear bleeding due to trauma, severe infection or a ruptured eardrum.
Statement 3: Clinicians should offer bilateral tympanostomy tube insertion to children with bilateral OME for 3 months or longer (chronic OME) AND documented hearing difficulties.
Tympanostomy is a companion procedure to myringotomy, and involves the insertion of a small tube into the eardrum through a myringotomy incision in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
When it is necessary to keep the middle ear ventilated for a very long period, a "T"-shaped tube may be used, as these "T-tubes" can stay in place for 2-4 years. The use of myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion has become a widely used and accepted method of treating various middle ear conditions in children and adults.
Children or adults with persistent AOM despite at least 2 different courses of recommended empiric antibiotic therapy. The use of myringotomy as a stand-alone procedure is considered medically necessary for individuals who meet one or more of the following criteria: Neonates with otitis media who are either:
The use of myringotomy alone is considered not medically necessary when the criteria above have not been met and for all other indications.
Inclusion or exclusion of a procedure, diagnosis or device code (s) does not constitute or imply member coverage or provider reimbursement policy. Please refer to the member's contract benefits in effect at the time of service to determine coverage or non-coverage of these services as it applies to an individual member.
The guideline panel agreed that tympanostomy tubes were a reasonable intervention for reducing middle ear effusion that would have resolved in normal risk children:
Cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure
Entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach and visualize the site of the procedure
Entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening to reach the site of the procedure
Entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening to reach and visualize the site of the procedure
Entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening and entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to aid in the performance of the procedure
