About 0LQ23ZZ

0LQ23ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left shoulder tendon using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of tendon sheath, rotator cuff repair and other plastic operations on tendon, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (83.61, 83.63 and 83.88).

For a different body part, codes include 0LQ03ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LQ13ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LQ33ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LQ43ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LQ53ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon), 0LQ63ZZ (left lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LQ20ZZ (open) and 0LQ24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 510 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with MCC), DRG 511 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with CC), DRG 512 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures”, “Other O.R. 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.
