About 0LB83ZZ

0LB83ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left hand tendon using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of tendon sheath of hand and other tenonectomy of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (82.21 and 82.33).

For a different body part, codes include 0LB03ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LB13ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LB23ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LB33ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LB43ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LB53ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LB80ZZ (open) and 0LB84ZZ (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 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R.
