About 0FQ68ZZ

0FQ68ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left hepatic duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 repair of other bile ducts, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0FQ48ZZ (gallbladder), 0FQ58ZZ (right hepatic duct), 0FQ78ZZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FQ88ZZ (cystic duct), 0FQ98ZZ (common bile duct), 0FQC8ZZ (ampulla of vater) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FQ60ZZ (open), 0FQ63ZZ (percutaneous), 0FQ64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0FQ67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 408 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 409 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with CC), DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
