About 0FB24ZX

0FB24ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the liver, left lobe using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 laparoscopic liver biopsy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (50.14).

For a different body part, codes include 0FB04ZX (liver), 0FB14ZX (liver, right lobe), 0FB44ZX (gallbladder), 0FB54ZX (right hepatic duct), 0FB64ZX (left hepatic duct), 0FB74ZX (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FB20ZX (open) and 0FB23ZX (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 420 (Hepatobiliary Diagnostic Procedures with MCC), DRG 421 (Hepatobiliary Diagnostic Procedures with CC) and DRG 422 (Hepatobiliary Diagnostic Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Hepatobiliary Diagnostic Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 6 more.

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