About 0CFB3ZZ

0CFB3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the right parotid duct using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of salivary gland or duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0CFC3ZZ (left parotid duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CFB0ZZ (open), 0CFB7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CFBXZZ (external).

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.
