About 0CU7X7Z

0CU7X7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the tongue using an external approach with autologous 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 repair and plastic operations on tongue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (25.59).

For a different body part, codes include 0CU0X7Z (upper lip), 0CU1X7Z (lower lip), 0CU2X7Z (hard palate), 0CU3X7Z (soft palate), 0CU4X7Z (buccal mucosa), 0CU5X7Z (upper gingiva) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CU707Z (open) and 0CU737Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0CU7XJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0CU7XKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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 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) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Mouth 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.
