About 0FB44ZX

0FB44ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the gallbladder 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 other closed [endoscopic] biopsy of biliary duct or sphincter of Oddi, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.14).

For a different body part, codes include 0FB04ZX (liver), 0FB14ZX (liver, right lobe), 0FB24ZX (liver, left lobe), 0FB54ZX (right hepatic duct), 0FB64ZX (left hepatic duct), 0FB74ZX (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FB40ZX (open), 0FB43ZX (percutaneous) and 0FB48ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 417 (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 418 (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy without C.D.E. with CC), DRG 419 (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Laparoscopic cholecystectomy”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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