ICD-10-PCS 0CJ Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Inspection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code beginning 0CJ) involves visually and/or manually examining the Mouth and Throat and associated structures to assess their condition without making any changes. This operation is used strictly for diagnostic purposes within the Medical and Surgical section.

The Inspection procedure codes cover a variety of body parts such as the Salivary Gland, Larynx, and the broader Mouth and Throat area. Various approaches are described, including the Open Approach (e.g., code 0CJA0ZZ for the salivary gland), Percutaneous (e.g., 0CJA3ZZ, 0CJS3ZZ for the larynx), Percutaneous Endoscopic (e.g., 0CJS4ZZ, 0CJY4ZZ), and inspection via Natural or Artificial Openings (e.g., 0CJS7ZZ, 0CJY7ZZ). The classification even includes External Approach codes (e.g., 0CJAXZZ, 0CJSXZZ). These detailed distinctions enable precise documentation of how the inspection is performed, essential for accurate coding and clinical records in disorders involving the mouth and throat region.
