About 0LXM0ZZ

0LXM0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the left upper leg tendon using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, transfer means moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to tendon transfer or transplantation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.75).

For a different body part, codes include 0LX00ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LX10ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LX20ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LX30ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LX40ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LX50ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LXM4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
