About 0MB44ZZ

0MB44ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left elbow bursa and ligament using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 excision of joint, elbow and Bursectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.92 and 83.5).

For a different body part, codes include 0MB04ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MB14ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MB24ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MB34ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MB54ZZ (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MB64ZZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MB40ZZ (open) and 0MB43ZZ (percutaneous).

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” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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