About 0CDV3ZZ
0CDV3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the left vocal cord using a percutaneous 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 0CDT3ZZ (right vocal cord).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CDV0ZZ (open), 0CDV4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0CDV7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CDV8ZZ (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.
