About 0CBX0Z2

0CBX0Z2 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the lower tooth using an open approach (qualifier: all). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to apicoectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (23.73).

For a different body part, codes include 0CBW0Z2 (upper tooth).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CBXXZ2 (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.
