About 0FB48ZZ

0FB48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the gallbladder using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. 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 partial cholecystectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.24).

For a different body part, codes include 0FB58ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FB68ZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FB78ZZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FB88ZZ (cystic duct), 0FB98ZZ (common bile duct), 0FBC8ZZ (ampulla of vater) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FB40ZZ (open), 0FB43ZZ (percutaneous) and 0FB44ZZ (percutaneous 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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
