About 0FC48ZZ

0FC48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the gallbladder using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other cholecystotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.04).

For a different body part, codes include 0FC58ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FC68ZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FC78ZZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FC88ZZ (cystic duct), 0FC98ZZ (common bile duct), 0FCC8ZZ (ampulla of vater) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FC40ZZ (open), 0FC43ZZ (percutaneous) and 0FC44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 408 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 409 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with CC) and DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
