0F523ZZ is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Destruction of Left Lobe Liver, Percutaneous Approach. It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021.
Excision of lesion of the left lobe of the liver. This is stating that only an excision of the lesion was done and if that is supported by the details of the procedure, then it is coded as excision even when the surgeon may document the term “resection of lesion of the left lobe of the liver.”
Examples of destruction are fulguration of rectal polyp, cautery of skin lesion, fulguration of endometrium, ablation of endometriosis, or cryotherapy of warts. The main section of ICD-10-PCS, the medical and surgical section, has the following meanings for the seven characters.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K76. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K76.
Resection is similar to excision except it involves cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part. Resection includes all of a body part or any subdivision of a body part having its own body part value in ICD-10-PCS, while excision includes only a portion of a body part.

2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0FB03ZX: Excision of Liver, Percutaneous Approach, Diagnostic.
2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0HB1XZZ: Excision of Face Skin, External Approach.
2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0FT44ZZ: Resection of Gallbladder, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach.
9; a liver mass is coded as R16. 0, a liver tumor is coded as D49. 0, and a liver cyst is coded as K76. 89.
Hepatic adenoma is a benign tumor that starts from hepatocytes (the main type of liver cell). Most cause no symptoms and do not need treatment. But some eventually cause symptoms, such as pain or a lump in the abdomen (stomach area) or blood loss.
Liver lesions are abnormal growths that may be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous. Benign lesions occur for a variety of reasons and are typically not cause for concern. Liver cancer is less common but more serious.
B3.4aBiopsy procedures B3. 4a Biopsy procedures are coded using the root operations Excision, Extraction, or Drainage and the qualifier Diagnostic. The qualifier Diagnostic is used only for biopsies.
Biopsies are coded to the root operations excision, extraction, or drainage (with the qualifier diagnostic). When only fluid is removed during a needle aspiration biopsy, the root operation would be “drainage”.
10022: This code may apply when a soft tissue mass is sampled by aspiration biopsy with imaging guidance. Possible ICD-10 codes include but may not be limited to D49.
The removal of tissue from the body using a scalpel (a sharp knife), laser, or other cutting tool. A surgical excision is usually done to remove a lump or other suspicious growth.
(ree-SEK-shun) Surgery to remove tissue or part or all of an organ.
Excisional surgery or shave excision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of growths, such as moles, masses and tumors, from the skin along with the healthy tissues around the tumor. The doctor uses this technique to treat skin cancers, where they use a scalpel or razor to remove the tumor.
Surgical excision removes the entire cyst but requires a larger hole in the skin. A punch incision makes a smaller hole through which the cyst can be removed. The trial's purpose is to determine if one method is better than another in terms of recurrence, infection, or other side effects.
0F513ZZ is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of destruction of right lobe liver, percutaneous approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
The procedure code 0F513ZZ is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the hepatobiliary system and pancreas body system, classified under the destruction operation. The applicable bodypart is liver, right lobe.
As with all codes in ICD-10-PCS, the medical and surgical procedure codes contain seven characters, with each character representing one particular aspect of the procedure. The third character defines the root operation, or the objective of the procedure.
Some organs such as the liver, stomach, and lung have subdivisions of body parts. The liver contains right lobe and left lobe, the stomach includes the pylorus as a specific body part, and the lung has multiple body parts such as right and left upper lobe, right middle lobe, and right and left lower lobe.
Resection includes all of a body part or any subdivision of a body part having its own body part value in ICD-10-PCS, while excision includes only a portion of a body part. Examples of resection are total nephrectomy, total lobectomy of lung, total mastectomy, resection cecum, prostatectomy, or cholecystectomy.
Detachment procedure codes are found only in body systems X (anatomical regions, upper extremities) and Y (anatomical regions, lower extremities) because amputations are performed on extremities across overlapping body layers.
For example, the procedure documentation may say removal, but in actuality, using ICD-10-PCS definitions, an extraction was performed (e.g., removal of a thumbnail would be coded to extraction). The root operation of removal is not correct because by definition a removal in ICD-10-PCS is defined as taking out or off a device from a body part.
The ICD-10-PCS code for a laparotomy with removal of the gallbladder is 0FT40ZZ, with the fifth character of the code (0) indicating that the procedure was performed via an open approach. During this procedure an incision is made through the abdominal wall (laparotomy) to remove the gallbladder.
ICD-10-PCS Draft Coding Guideline B5.4a states that procedures performed via an indwelling device are coded to approach value 3, percutaneous. Fragmentation of kidney stone performed via percutaneous nephrostomy illustrates the use of this guideline, and the approach value for this procedure is 3.
The ICD-10-PCS code for a diagnostic percutaneous paracentesis for ascites is 0W9G3ZX, with the fifth character (3) indicating a percutaneous approach. During this procedure a small incision is made and a needle or catheter is inserted into the peritoneal cavity to obtain ascitic fluid. Another example would be a PTCA of the right coronary artery with the insertion of a stent, which codes to 02703DZ.
An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with lithotripsy of the common bile duct (code 0FF98ZZ) is performed via a scope (visualization instrumentation) entering through the mouth (natural opening) for access to the biliary system via the duodenum. Therefore, the approach value is 8.
One of ICD-10-PCS’s goals is to ensure a complete picture of a patient’s procedure. Completeness means that there is a unique code for all substantially different procedures, including the same procedure performed using a different approach.
In contrast, a D&C performed with the use of a hysteroscope would be coded to 0UDB8ZZ, as visualization instrumentation (hysteroscope) was used to reach the site of the procedure.
