About 0LRF0KZ
0LRF0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right abdomen tendon using an open approach with nonautologous tissue 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 0LR00KZ (head and neck tendon), 0LR10KZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LR20KZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LR30KZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LR40KZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LR50KZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LRF4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0LRF07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0LRF0JZ (synthetic 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.
