About 0FJB4ZZ

0FJB4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the hepatobiliary duct using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to exploration of common duct and Laparoscopy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (51.51 and 54.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0FJ04ZZ (liver), 0FJ44ZZ (gallbladder), 0FJD4ZZ (pancreatic duct) and 0FJG4ZZ (pancreas).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FJB0ZZ (open), 0FJB3ZZ (percutaneous), 0FJB7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0FJB8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening 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), DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), DRG 411 (Cholecystectomy with C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 412 (Cholecystectomy with C.D.E. with CC) and DRG 413 (Cholecystectomy with C.D.E. without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.” and “Cholecystectomy”.

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