About 0MC00ZZ

0MC00ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the head and neck bursa and ligament using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, other specified sites and Bursotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.19 and 83.03).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MC03ZZ (percutaneous) and 0MC04ZZ (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 907 (Other O.R.
