ICD-10-PCS 0C5 Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code range starting with 0C5) refers to the deliberate termination of the function of a body part through methods such as laser or electrical energy without removing the body part. It is commonly used in the Medical and Surgical section targeting the Mouth and Throat body system.

This operation includes destruction of various oral and pharyngeal structures like the Upper Lip, Lower Lip, Soft and Hard Palate, Tongue, Pharynx, and others, using different approaches: Open, Percutaneous, External, and endoscopic methods through natural or artificial openings. For example, code 0C500ZZ represents destruction of the Upper Lip via an open approach, while 0C533ZZ indicates destruction of the Soft Palate via percutaneous approach. Additionally, destruction codes cover salivary glands and ducts, vocal cords, teeth, and lymphoid tissues like Tonsils and Adenoids. These specific ICD-10-PCS mouth and throat destruction codes allow precise documentation of the targeted body part and approach, essential for accurate clinical and billing records.
