About 0PBF3ZX

0PBF3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right humeral shaft using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of bone, humerus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.42).

For a different body part, codes include 0PB03ZX (sternum), 0PB13ZX (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PB23ZX (ribs, 3 or more), 0PB33ZX (cervical vertebra), 0PB43ZX (thoracic vertebra), 0PB53ZX (right scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PBF0ZX (open) and 0PBF4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 477 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 478 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with CC), DRG 479 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

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