About the 0PB Code Range

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Excision (code beginning with 0PB) refers to the surgical removal of a portion or all of a body part, specifically within the Medical and Surgical section. This operation involves cutting out bone tissue from upper bones through various approaches.

This classification covers excision procedures targeting bones such as the sternum, ribs, vertebrae (cervical and thoracic), scapula, glenoid cavity, clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges of the fingers and thumb. Excision can be performed through an Open approach, Percutaneous approach, or Percutaneous Endoscopic approach, with some codes indicating diagnostic intent (e.g., 0PB00ZX for excision of the sternum, open approach, diagnostic). For example, excision of 1 to 2 ribs can be coded as 0PB10ZZ (open approach) or 0PB14ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic approach). This system provides detailed options that reflect the specific bone and procedural method employed, facilitating precise documentation of excision procedures involving upper bones.
