About 0XB74ZX

0XB74ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left upper extremity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed biopsy of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0XB24ZX (right shoulder region), 0XB34ZX (left shoulder region), 0XB44ZX (right axilla), 0XB54ZX (left axilla), 0XB64ZX (right upper extremity), 0XB84ZX (right upper arm) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XB70ZX (open) and 0XB73ZX (percutaneous).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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