About 0MBW4ZX
0MBW4ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left lower extremity 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 other diagnostic procedures on muscle, tendon, fascia, and bursa, including that of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (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), 0MB34ZX (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MB44ZX (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0MB54ZX (right wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MBW0ZX (open) and 0MBW3ZX (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) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Soft Tissue Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
