About 0FTC4ZZ

0FTC4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the ampulla of vater using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of ampulla of Vater (with reimplantation of common duct), the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.62).

For a different body part, codes include 0FT04ZZ (liver), 0FT14ZZ (liver, right lobe), 0FT24ZZ (liver, left lobe), 0FT44ZZ (gallbladder), 0FT54ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FT64ZZ (left hepatic duct) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FTC0ZZ (open), 0FTC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0FTC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and “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.
