About 0LB10ZZ
0LB10ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right shoulder tendon using an open approach. 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 tenonectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.42).
For a different body part, codes include 0LB00ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LB20ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LB30ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LB40ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LB50ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon), 0LB60ZZ (left lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LB13ZZ (percutaneous) and 0LB14ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
