About 0FB50ZZ

0FB50ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right hepatic duct using an open 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 excision of other bile duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.69).

For a different body part, codes include 0FB00ZZ (liver), 0FB10ZZ (liver, right lobe), 0FB20ZZ (liver, left lobe), 0FB40ZZ (gallbladder), 0FB60ZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FB70ZZ (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FB53ZZ (percutaneous), 0FB54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0FB57ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0FB58ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 408 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 409 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with CC) and DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.”.

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