About 0CU2XKZ

0CU2XKZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the hard palate using an external approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other plastic repair of palate, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (27.69).

For a different body part, codes include 0CU0XKZ (upper lip), 0CU1XKZ (lower lip), 0CU3XKZ (soft palate), 0CU4XKZ (buccal mucosa), 0CU5XKZ (upper gingiva), 0CU6XKZ (lower gingiva) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CU20KZ (open) and 0CU23KZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0CU2X7Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0CU2XJZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures” and “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.

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