About 0FB23ZX
0FB23ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the liver, left lobe using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to closed (percutaneous) [needle] biopsy of liver, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (50.11).
For a different body part, codes include 0FB03ZX (liver), 0FB13ZX (liver, right lobe), 0FB43ZX (gallbladder), 0FB53ZX (right hepatic duct), 0FB63ZX (left hepatic duct), 0FB73ZX (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FB20ZX (open) and 0FB24ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
