About 0FF7XZZ

0FF7XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the hepatic duct, common using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy [ESWL] of the gallbladder and/or bile duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.52).

For a different body part, codes include 0FF4XZZ (gallbladder), 0FF5XZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FF6XZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FF8XZZ (cystic duct), 0FF9XZZ (common bile duct), 0FFCXZZ (ampulla of vater) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FF70ZZ (open), 0FF73ZZ (percutaneous), 0FF74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0FF77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0FF78ZZ (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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
