0KXC0Z0Transfer Right Hand Muscle with Skin, Open Approach

0KXC0Z0 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the right hand muscle using an open approach (qualifier: skin). In ICD-10-PCS, transfer means moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other hand muscle transfer or transplantation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (82.58).

For a different body part, codes include 0KX00Z0 (head muscle), 0KX10Z0 (facial muscle), 0KX20Z0 (right neck muscle), 0KX30Z0 (left neck muscle), 0KX40Z0 (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0KX50Z0 (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KXC4Z0 (percutaneous endoscopic).

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 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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