ICD-10-PCS Code For Parotid Duct, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0CFB includes procedures performed to fragment solid matter within the parotid duct, right, in the mouth and throat. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician breaks obstructing stones or other solid concretions in the right parotid duct to restore salivary drainage. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0CFB group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific fragmentation procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a documented procedure fragments stones or other solid obstructions located in the right parotid duct during an inpatient encounter. Select the specific ICD-10-PCS code when the clinical record indicates fragmentation as the root operation and the body part specified is the parotid duct, right.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

4 rows

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
0CFB0ZZ	Fragmentation in Right Parotid Duct, Open Approach
0CFB3ZZ	Fragmentation in Right Parotid Duct, Percutaneous Approach
0CFB7ZZ	Fragmentation in Right Parotid Duct, Via Natural or Artificial Opening
0CFBXZZ	Fragmentation in Right Parotid Duct, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with sudden, severe swelling and pain over the right preauricular area presents to the hospital with fever and signs of sepsis secondary to acute obstructive suppurative parotitis from an impacted salivary stone in the right parotid duct; inpatient care is required for intravenous antibiotics and urgent restoration of ductal drainage by fragmenting the obstructing calculus to relieve infection and prevent abscess formation. Typical codes: 0CFB7ZZ, 0CFB3ZZ
A middle-aged patient with recurrent painful swelling of the right parotid gland related to a chronic, symptomatic sialolith undergoes a planned inpatient procedure to fragment the stone after failed outpatient lithotripsy attempts; the goal is definitive clearance of the right parotid duct obstruction to restore salivary flow and prevent further episodes. Typical codes: 0CFB0ZZ, 0CFB3ZZ
A patient who previously had a transoral attempt at stone removal develops persistent obstruction and scar-related narrowing of the right parotid duct, necessitating an inpatient fragmentation procedure as part of a revision approach to break residual concretions and facilitate subsequent ductal repair or stenting. Typical codes: 0CFB0ZZ, 0CFBXZZ
