About 07B23ZX

07B23ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the lymphatic, left neck using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of lymphatic structure, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.11).

For a different body part, codes include 07B03ZX (lymphatic, head), 07B13ZX (lymphatic, right neck), 07B33ZX (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 07B43ZX (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 07B53ZX (lymphatic, right axillary), 07B63ZX (lymphatic, left axillary) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07B20ZX (open) and 07B24ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures” and 4 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
