About 0CTS8ZZ

0CTS8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the larynx using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to complete laryngectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (30.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0CTM8ZZ (pharynx), 0CTR8ZZ (epiglottis), 0CTT8ZZ (right vocal cord) and 0CTV8ZZ (left vocal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CTS0ZZ (open), 0CTS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0CTS7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC) and DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy”.

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