About 0M8F0ZZ

0M8F0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the sternum bursa and ligament using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to division of joint capsule, ligament, or cartilage, other specified sites and Bursotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.49 and 83.03).

For a different body part, codes include 0M800ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0M810ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0M820ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0M830ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0M840ZZ (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0M850ZZ (right wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0M8F3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0M8F4ZZ (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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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