0MB70ZZExcision of Right Hand Bursa and Ligament, Open Approach

0MB70ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right hand bursa and ligament 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 excision of joint, hand and finger and Bursectomy of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.94 and 82.31).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MB73ZZ (percutaneous) and 0MB74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), DRG 957 (Other O.R.
