About 0L833ZZ

0L833ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the right upper arm tendon using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other tenotomy and other change in muscle or tendon length, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.13 and 83.85).

For a different body part, codes include 0L803ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0L813ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0L823ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0L843ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0L853ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon), 0L863ZZ (left lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0L830ZZ (open) and 0L834ZZ (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 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 Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 1 more.

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