About 0CLC4ZZ
0CLC4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left parotid duct using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on salivary gland or duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0CLB4ZZ (right parotid duct).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CLC0ZZ (open), 0CLC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0CLC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CLC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0CLC4CZ (extraluminal device) and 0CLC4DZ (intraluminal device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 139 (Salivary Gland Procedures), under the surgical category “Salivary Gland Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
