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.
Would we code the episiotomy and repair or just the repair, and why? We are considering ICD-10-PCS code 0KQM0ZZ (Repair of the perineum muscle, open approach) and/or 0W8NXZZ (Division of the female perineum, external approach). A: The two codes you identified are both viable options.
ICD-10-PCS Draft Coding Guideline B5.3b indicates that procedures performed indirectly by the application of external force through the intervening body layers are coded to approach value X. Therefore, when coding a closed reduction of a fracture, the fifth character of the code would be X.
Repair Abdominal Wall, Open Approach ICD-10-PCS 0WQF0ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
ICD-10-PCS 0DJW0ZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 54.11 Exploratory laparotomy.
Repair-Root Operation Q This root operation is used only when the method to accomplish the repair is not one of the other root operations. The repair root operation represents a broad range of procedures for restoring the anatomic structure of a body part such as suture of lacerations.
Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.
Exploratory laparotomy is an abdominal surgery that doctors sometimes use to diagnose abdominal issues. It is usually recommended when other testing did not diagnose or fully resolve an issue. Reasons to perform this surgery include: Abdominal trauma (for example, from an accident) Unexplained bleeding.
An open approach is defined as cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. Procedures performed via an open approach have a fifth character value of 0.
2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0FT44ZZ: Resection of Gallbladder, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach.
Examples of excision are partial nephrectomy, liver biopsy, breast lumpectomy, excision of cyst, sigmoid polypectomy, or excision of melanoma. Bone marrow and endometrial biopsies are not coded to excision.
Root operations that take out some or all of a body part include Excision, Resection, Detachment, Destruction, and Extraction. Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gases from a body part include Drainage, Extirpation, and Fragmentation.
Endoscopic approaches are a subset of percutaneous approaches that use one or more small puncture sites and a thin video instrument with a small camera at the tip.
percutaneousThe term “burr hole” is almost always indicative of a percutaneous procedure. However, in some cases, the surgeon will make multiple burr holes and then remove the skull bone that is between the burr holes (like in a triangle) to actually get down to the operative site of the brain.
All ICD-10-PCS codes have an alphanumeric structure, with all codes made up of seven characters. All complete ICD-10-PCS codes can be located within the Index. The letters "O" and "I" are not used as ICD-10-PCS values so as not to be confused with the digits "0" and "1."

Suturing is the preferred technique for skin laceration repair. Tissue adhesives are comparable with sutures in cosmetic results, dehiscence rates, and infection risk. Applying white petrolatum to a sterile wound to promote wound healing is as effective as applying an antibiotic ointment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Another example of an open approach is an abdominal hysterectomy with a Tru-Cut needle biopsy of the left lobe of the liver. During this procedure a Pfannenstiel incision is made, the abdominal cavity is opened and explored, and a needle biopsy is performed. Subsequently the uterus is also removed.
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.
