About 0FCG8ZZ

0FCG8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the pancreas using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other pancreatotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (52.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0FC48ZZ (gallbladder), 0FC58ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FC68ZZ (left hepatic duct), 0FC78ZZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FC88ZZ (cystic duct), 0FC98ZZ (common bile duct) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FCG0ZZ (open), 0FCG3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0FCG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 405 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures with MCC), DRG 406 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures with CC) and DRG 407 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
