About 0MC63ZZ
0MC63ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left wrist bursa and ligament using a percutaneous 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, wrist and Bursotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.13 and 83.03).
For a different body part, codes include 0MC03ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MC13ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MC23ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MC33ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MC43ZZ (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0MC53ZZ (right wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MC60ZZ (open) and 0MC64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 506 (Major Thumb or Joint Procedures) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Major Thumb or Joint Procedures” and “Hand Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
