About 0CCPXZZ
0CCPXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the tonsils using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of intraluminal foreign body from mouth without incision, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.01).
For a different body part, codes include 0CC0XZZ (upper lip), 0CC1XZZ (lower lip), 0CC2XZZ (hard palate), 0CC3XZZ (soft palate), 0CC4XZZ (buccal mucosa), 0CC5XZZ (upper gingiva) and 4 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CCP0ZZ (open) and 0CCP3ZZ (percutaneous).
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.
