About 0KB63ZX

0KB63ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left shoulder muscle using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on muscle, tendon, fascia, and bursa, including that of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0KB03ZX (head muscle), 0KB13ZX (facial muscle), 0KB23ZX (right neck muscle), 0KB33ZX (left neck muscle), 0KB43ZX (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0KB53ZX (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KB60ZX (open) and 0KB64ZX (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) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Soft Tissue Procedures”.

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