About 0CJA3ZZ

0CJA3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the salivary gland using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on salivary glands and ducts, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0CJS3ZZ (larynx) and 0CJY3ZZ (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CJA0ZZ (open) and 0CJAXZZ (external).

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.
