About the 0C1 Code Range
These procedures change the route of passage through the larynx, with a cutaneous route involving the skin.
The fourth character identifies the larynx. The fifth separates an open approach, which exposes the site through an incision, from a percutaneous approach, which reaches it through a puncture or minor incision. The sixth distinguishes an intraluminal endotracheal airway device, a tracheostomy device, or no device. The seventh is always Cutaneous.
