About 0CC10ZZ

0CC10ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the lower lip using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CC13ZZ (percutaneous) and 0CC1XZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 137 (Mouth Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 138 (Mouth Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R.
