About 0LC83ZZ

0LC83ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left hand tendon using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to exploration of tendon sheath of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (82.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0LC03ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LC13ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LC23ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LC33ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LC43ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LC53ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LC80ZZ (open) and 0LC84ZZ (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 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC) and DRG 959 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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