About 0MT00ZZ

0MT00ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the head and neck bursa and ligament using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of joint, other specified sites and Bursectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.99 and 83.5).

For a different body part, codes include 0MT10ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MT20ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MT30ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MT40ZZ (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0MT50ZZ (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MT60ZZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MT04ZZ (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. 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”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
