About 0CHA0YZ

0CHA0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the salivary gland using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

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 0CHS0YZ (larynx) and 0CHY0YZ (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CHA3YZ (percutaneous), 0CHA7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CHA8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0CHA01Z (radioactive element).

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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
