About 0FCC4ZZ

0FCC4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the ampulla of vater using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic removal of stone(s) from biliary tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.88).

For a different body part, codes include 0FC04ZZ (liver), 0FC14ZZ (liver, right lobe), 0FC24ZZ (liver, left lobe), 0FC44ZZ (gallbladder), 0FC54ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FC64ZZ (left hepatic duct) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FCC0ZZ (open), 0FCC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0FCC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0FCC8ZZ (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.
