About 0CVC7ZZ

0CVC7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the left parotid duct using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular 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 0CVB7ZZ (right parotid duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CVC0ZZ (open), 0CVC3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0CVC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0CVC7DZ (intraluminal device).

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.
