About 0C983ZX

0C983ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right parotid gland using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed [needle] biopsy of salivary gland or duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0C903ZX (upper lip), 0C913ZX (lower lip), 0C923ZX (hard palate), 0C933ZX (soft palate), 0C943ZX (buccal mucosa), 0C953ZX (upper gingiva) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0C980ZX (open).

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.
