About 0PBL3ZZ

0PBL3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left ulna using a percutaneous 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, radius and ulna and other partial ostectomy, radius and ulna, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (77.60, 77.63 and 77.83).

For a different body part, codes include 0PB03ZZ (sternum), 0PB13ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PB23ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PB33ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0PB43ZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PB53ZZ (right scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PBL0ZZ (open) and 0PBL4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 510 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with MCC), DRG 511 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with CC), DRG 512 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R.

Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures”, “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.
