ICD-10-PCS Code For Cystic Duct: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0FL8 includes procedures performed to occlude lumens or orifices in the cystic duct within the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician completely closes the cystic duct to stop biliary flow, prevent leakage, or as part of a biliary surgical procedure. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0FL8 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific occlusion procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Cystic Duct Occlusion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve completely closing the lumen of the cystic duct within the hepatobiliary system and pancreas for inpatient surgical management. These occlusion procedures stop flow through the cystic duct to treat or prevent bile leakage, manage gallbladder-related conditions, or support other biliary operations. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of cystic duct occlusion ensures the inpatient record reflects the specific operation performed and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the primary action performed is complete closure of the cystic duct lumen during an inpatient surgical encounter. Codes in this group apply when occlusion is done to stop bile flow, prevent leakage, or as a component of other biliary surgeries.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient is admitted emergently with acute cholecystitis complicated by a leaking cystic duct stump after a recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy; persistent bilious drainage and sepsis risk prompt inpatient operative management to definitively close the cystic duct stump and prevent ongoing bile leak. An open surgical approach to place external clips or oversew the duct may be required when laparoscopic access is limited by adhesions or inflammation. Typical codes: 0FL80CZ, 0FL80ZZ
A middle-aged patient undergoes elective biliary surgery for recurrent gallbladder mucocele and planned ligation of the cystic duct during a percutaneous endoscopic-assisted biliary intervention to prevent retrograde filling and future episodes; the procedure is performed inpatient as part of a staged biliary reconstruction. The cystic duct lumen is completely occluded via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to secure biliary flow control. Typical codes: 0FL84CZ, 0FL84ZZ
A patient with chronic pancreatitis and prior biliary stenting develops persistent cystic duct patency causing recurrent biliary symptoms despite endoscopic therapy; during a percutaneous transhepatic biliary procedure the interventional team completely occludes the cystic duct intraluminally to stop retrograde bile passage and resolve symptoms. This represents an interventional, non-open inpatient procedure performed to definitively occlude the cystic duct lumen. Typical codes: 0FL83DZ, 0FL83ZZ
