About 0RCC3ZZ

0RCC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right temporomandibular joint 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 of facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0RC03ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RC13ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RC33ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RC43ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RC53ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RC63ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RCC0ZZ (open) and 0RCC4ZZ (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 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 Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat 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.
