About 0PBC4ZZ

0PBC4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right humeral head using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, unspecified site, local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, humerus and other partial ostectomy, humerus, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (77.60, 77.62 and 77.82).

For a different body part, codes include 0PB04ZZ (sternum), 0PB14ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PB24ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PB34ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0PB44ZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PB54ZZ (right scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PBC0ZZ (open) and 0PBC3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 492 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 493 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with CC), DRG 494 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur 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 “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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