About 0C5X0Z2
0C5X0Z2 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the lower tooth using an open approach (qualifier: all). 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 dental operations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (24.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0C5W0Z2 (upper tooth).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0C5XXZ2 (external).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
