About 0C593ZZ

0C593ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left parotid gland using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of salivary gland lesion, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0C503ZZ (upper lip), 0C513ZZ (lower lip), 0C523ZZ (hard palate), 0C533ZZ (soft palate), 0C543ZZ (buccal mucosa), 0C553ZZ (upper gingiva) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0C590ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 139 (Salivary Gland Procedures), under the surgical category “Salivary Gland Procedures”.

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