About 0MB10ZX

0MB10ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right shoulder bursa and ligament using an open 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 biopsy of joint structure, shoulder and open biopsy of soft tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.31 and 83.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0MB00ZX (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MB20ZX (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MB30ZX (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MB40ZX (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0MB50ZX (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MB60ZX (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MB13ZX (percutaneous) and 0MB14ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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