About 0KRQ0JZ
0KRQ0JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right upper leg muscle using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to graft of muscle or fascia, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.82).
For a different body part, codes include 0KR00JZ (head muscle), 0KR10JZ (facial muscle), 0KR20JZ (right neck muscle), 0KR30JZ (left neck muscle), 0KR40JZ (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0KR50JZ (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KRQ4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0KRQ07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0KRQ0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
