Excision of Occipital Bone, Open Approach. ICD-10-PCS 0NB70ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
ICD-10-PCS Sections. The 1st character of the code identifies the section. Sections relate to the type of procedure. For example, a chest x-ray is an imaging procedure and a breast biopsy is a medical and surgical procedure.
Code 61156 is used to report aspiration of an intracerebral cyst or hematoma using trephination or a Burr hole. In this procedure, a small catheter is placed through the burr holes in order to drain a cyst or abscess. A number of different types of cysts may be found within the brain, including colloid cysts, subarachnoid and arachnoid cysts.
Additionally, a number of different types of abscesses may be present, including parasitic, bacterial and other types of infections. Code 61140 describes a biopsy obtained by trephination or a Burr hole. With a biopsy, a small piece of the brain tumor is removed and sent for pathological examination.

Z98. 890 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98. 890 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10-PCS has a 7 character alpha-numeric code structure that provides a unique code for all substantially different procedures, and allows new procedures to be incorporated as new codes. All procedures currently performed can be specified in ICD-10-PCS.
Physical rehabilitation section codes represent procedures including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology. Osteopathic procedures and chiropractic procedures are in sections 7 and 9 respectively. Physical rehabilitation and diagnostic audiology procedure codes have a first character value of “F”. The second character specifies the section qualifier Rehabilitation or Diagnostic Audiology. The third character specifies the root type.
6 - Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies. In extracorporeal therapy, equipment outside the body is used for a therapeutic purpose that does not involve the assistance or performance of a physiological function. Extracorporeal therapy procedure codes have a first character value of “6”.
3 - Administration. Administration section codes represent procedures for putting in or on a therapeutic, prophylactic, protective, diagnostic, nutritional or physiological substance. Administration procedure codes have a first character value of “3”.
Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of “5”. The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
Placement section codes represent procedures for putting an externally placed device in or on a body region for the purpose of protection, immobilization, stretching, compression or packing. Placement procedure codes have a first character value of “2”.
The Medical and Surgical section codes represent the vast majority of procedures reported in an inpatient setting. Medical and surgical procedure codes have a first character value of "0". The 2nd character indicates the general body system (e.g., gastrointestinal).
Osteopathic procedure codes have a first character value of "7". The body system character contains the value anatomical regions. There is only one root operation in the osteopathic section.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Mental Health procedure codes have a first character value of "G". The second character is used to identify the body system elsewhere in ICD-10-PCS. Because body system does not apply in this section, the second character always has the value None. The third character specifies the root type, such as crisis intervention or counseling. The fourth character is a type qualifier (e.g., to indicate that counseling was educational or vocational). The fifth, sixth and seventh characters are not specified and always have the value None.
Administration section codes represent procedures for putting in or on a therapeutic, prophylactic, protective, diagnostic, nutritional or physiological substance. Administration procedure codes have a first character value of "3". The body system character contains three values: circulatory system, indwelling device, and physiological systems and anatomical regions. The circulatory body system is used for transfusion procedures.
Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of "5 ". The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
Measurement and monitoring procedure codes have a first character value of "4". The second character value for body system is either physiological systems or physiological devices.
Placement section codes represent procedures for putting an externally placed device in or on a body region for the purpose of protection, immobilization, stretching, compression or packing. Placement procedure codes have a first character value of "2". The second character value for body system is either anatomical regions or anatomical orifices. The root operations Change and Removal are contained in the placement section, and have the same meaning as in the medical and surgical section.
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.
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.
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.
Another example using this approach is a diagnostic bronchoscopy of the left upper lobe bronchus, which codes to 0BJ88ZZ. During this procedure a bronchoscope (visualization instrumentation) is inserted into either the nose or the mouth (natural opening) and passed into the bronchus.
CPT guidance states, "If burr hole (s) or trephine are followed by craniotomy at same operative session, use 61304-61321 ; do not use 61250 or 61253.".
In a procedure commonly described as a "bone flap craniotomy," several Burr holes are used to help develop a bone flap. If this is the case, the surgical approach is not a Burr hole, but rather a craniotomy/craniectomy and the correct craniotomy/craniectomy code should be used.
Code 61156 is used to report aspiration of an intracerebral cyst or hematoma using trephination or a Burr hole. In this procedure, a small catheter is placed through the burr holes in order to drain a cyst or abscess. A number of different types of cysts may be found within the brain, including colloid cysts, subarachnoid and arachnoid cysts.
