About 0CPA0YZ

0CPA0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the salivary gland using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from 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 0CPS0YZ (larynx) and 0CPY0YZ (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CPA3YZ (percutaneous), 0CPA7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CPA8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0CPA00Z (drainage device) and 0CPA0CZ (extraluminal device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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