About 0PC63ZZ

0PC63ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left scapula using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Sequestrectomy, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0PC03ZZ (sternum), 0PC13ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PC23ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PC33ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0PC43ZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PC53ZZ (right scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PC60ZZ (open) and 0PC64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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