About 0RCM0ZZ

0RCM0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left elbow joint using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, elbow, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.12).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RCM3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0RCM4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 507 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 508 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R.
