About 0L573ZZ

0L573ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right hand tendon using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of tendon sheath of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (82.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0L503ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0L513ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0L523ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0L533ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0L543ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0L553ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0L570ZZ (open) and 0L574ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), under the surgical categories “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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