About 0LTC0ZZ
0LTC0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the right thorax tendon using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other tenonectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.42).
For a different body part, codes include 0LT00ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LT10ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LT20ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LT30ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LT40ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LT50ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LTC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
