0MBV0ZXExcision of Right Lower Extremity Bursa and Ligament, Open Approach, Diagnostic

0MBV0ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right lower extremity 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 open biopsy of soft tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0MB00ZX (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MB10ZX (right shoulder 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) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MBV3ZX (percutaneous) and 0MBV4ZX (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 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures” and “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.

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