About 0FB97ZX
0FB97ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the common bile duct using a via natural or artificial opening 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 0FB57ZX (right hepatic duct), 0FB67ZX (left hepatic duct), 0FB77ZX (hepatic duct, common), 0FB87ZX (cystic duct), 0FBC7ZX (ampulla of vater), 0FBD7ZX (pancreatic duct) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FB90ZX (open), 0FB93ZX (percutaneous), 0FB94ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0FB98ZX (via natural or artificial opening 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.
