About 0FF47ZZ

0FF47ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the gallbladder using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

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 0FF57ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FF67ZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FF77ZZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FF87ZZ (cystic duct), 0FF97ZZ (common bile duct), 0FFC7ZZ (ampulla of vater) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FF40ZZ (open), 0FF43ZZ (percutaneous), 0FF44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0FF48ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0FF4XZZ (external).

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