About 0FFF7ZZ

0FFF7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the pancreatic duct, accessory 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 pancreatotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (52.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0FF47ZZ (gallbladder), 0FF57ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FF67ZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FF77ZZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FF87ZZ (cystic duct), 0FF97ZZ (common bile duct) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FFF0ZZ (open), 0FFF3ZZ (percutaneous), 0FFF4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0FFF8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0FFFXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 405 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures with MCC), DRG 406 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures with CC) and DRG 407 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures”.

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