About 0K510ZZ

0K510ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the facial muscle using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of muscle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.32).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0K513ZZ (percutaneous) and 0K514ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R.
