About 0CJS7ZZ

0CJS7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the larynx using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on larynx, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.48).

For a different body part, codes include 0CJY7ZZ (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CJS0ZZ (open), 0CJS3ZZ (percutaneous), 0CJS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0CJS8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0CJSXZZ (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.
