About 0LR94JZ
0LR94JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right trunk tendon using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LR04JZ (head and neck tendon), 0LR14JZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LR24JZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LR34JZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LR44JZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LR54JZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LR90JZ (open).
With a different device, use 0LR947Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0LR94KZ (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.
