About 0CFC0ZZ

0CFC0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the left parotid duct using an open 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 0CFB0ZZ (right parotid duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CFC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0CFC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CFCXZZ (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.
