About 0MD44ZZ

0MD44ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the left elbow bursa and ligament using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Bursectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.5).

For a different body part, codes include 0MD04ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MD14ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MD24ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MD34ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MD54ZZ (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MD64ZZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MD40ZZ (open) and 0MD43ZZ (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), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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