About 0PT00ZZ
0PT00ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the sternum using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to total ostectomy, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.91).
For a different body part, codes include 0PT10ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PT20ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PT50ZZ (right scapula), 0PT60ZZ (left scapula), 0PT70ZZ (right glenoid cavity), 0PT80ZZ (left glenoid cavity) and 18 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC) and DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R.
