About 0CQ60ZZ
0CQ60ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the lower gingiva using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on gum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (24.39).
For a different body part, codes include 0CQ00ZZ (upper lip), 0CQ10ZZ (lower lip), 0CQ20ZZ (hard palate), 0CQ30ZZ (soft palate), 0CQ40ZZ (buccal mucosa), 0CQ50ZZ (upper gingiva) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CQ63ZZ (percutaneous) and 0CQ6XZZ (external).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
