About 0CQJ0ZZ

0CQJ0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the minor salivary gland using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair and plastic operations on salivary gland or duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.49).

For a different body part, codes include 0CQ00ZZ (upper lip), 0CQ10ZZ (lower lip), 0CQ20ZZ (hard palate), 0CQ30ZZ (soft palate), 0CQ40ZZ (buccal mucosa), 0CQ50ZZ (upper gingiva) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CQJ3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 139 (Salivary Gland Procedures), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Salivary Gland Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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