About 0CDT0ZZ

0CDT0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the right vocal cord using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

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

For a different body part, codes include 0CDV0ZZ (left vocal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CDT3ZZ (percutaneous), 0CDT4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0CDT7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CDT8ZZ (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. Procedures” and “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

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