About 0RBC3ZZ

0RBC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right temporomandibular joint 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 or destruction of lesion of facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.2).

For a different body part, codes include 0RB03ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RB13ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RB33ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RB43ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RB53ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RB63ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RBC0ZZ (open) and 0RBC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC) and DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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