About 0CPS37Z

0CPS37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the larynx using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of larynx or trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0CPY37Z (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CPS07Z (open), 0CPS77Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0CPS87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0CPSX7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0CPS30Z (drainage device), 0CPS3DZ (intraluminal device), 0CPS3JZ (synthetic substitute), 0CPS3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0CPS3YZ (other device).

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) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
