About 0P554ZZ
0P554ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right scapula using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.
In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.61).
For a different body part, codes include 0P504ZZ (sternum), 0P514ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0P524ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0P534ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0P544ZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0P564ZZ (left scapula) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0P550ZZ (open) and 0P553ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC) and DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
