About 0CBS3ZZ

0CBS3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the larynx using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of larynx and other partial laryngectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (30.09 and 30.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0CB03ZZ (upper lip), 0CB13ZZ (lower lip), 0CB23ZZ (hard palate), 0CB33ZZ (soft palate), 0CB43ZZ (buccal mucosa), 0CB53ZZ (upper gingiva) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CBS0ZZ (open), 0CBS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0CBS7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CBS8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R.
