About 0CPY37Z

0CPY37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the mouth and throat 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 incision of mouth, unspecified structure, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (27.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0CPS37Z (larynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CPY07Z (open), 0CPY77Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0CPY87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0CPYX7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0CPY30Z (drainage device), 0CPY31Z (radioactive element), 0CPY3DZ (intraluminal device), 0CPY3JZ (synthetic substitute), 0CPY3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0CPY3YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 137 (Mouth Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 138 (Mouth Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Mouth Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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