About 0CCR3ZZ

0CCR3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the epiglottis using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of larynx or trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0CC03ZZ (upper lip), 0CC13ZZ (lower lip), 0CC23ZZ (hard palate), 0CC33ZZ (soft palate), 0CC43ZZ (buccal mucosa), 0CC53ZZ (upper gingiva) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CCR0ZZ (open), 0CCR4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0CCR7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CCR8ZZ (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) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
