About 0CRC37Z

0CRC37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left parotid duct using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

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 0CR037Z (upper lip), 0CR137Z (lower lip), 0CR237Z (hard palate), 0CR337Z (soft palate), 0CR437Z (buccal mucosa), 0CR537Z (upper gingiva) and 4 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CRC07Z (open).

With a different device, use 0CRC3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0CRC3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
