About 0KQL4ZZ
0KQL4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left abdomen muscle using a percutaneous 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 other suture of muscle or fascia and other plastic operations on muscle, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.65 and 83.87).
For a different body part, codes include 0KQ04ZZ (head muscle), 0KQ14ZZ (facial muscle), 0KQ24ZZ (right neck muscle), 0KQ34ZZ (left neck muscle), 0KQ44ZZ (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0KQ54ZZ (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KQL0ZZ (open) and 0KQL3ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
