About 0MB34ZX

0MB34ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right elbow bursa and ligament using a percutaneous endoscopic 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, elbow and other diagnostic procedures on muscle, tendon, fascia, and bursa, including that of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.32 and 83.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0MB04ZX (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MB14ZX (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MB24ZX (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MB44ZX (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0MB54ZX (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MB64ZX (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MB30ZX (open) and 0MB33ZX (percutaneous).

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.
