About 0LR10JZ
0LR10JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right shoulder tendon using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to tendon graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.81).
For a different body part, codes include 0LR00JZ (head and neck tendon), 0LR20JZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LR30JZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LR40JZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LR50JZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon), 0LR60JZ (left lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LR14JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0LR107Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0LR10KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue 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 “Soft Tissue Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
