About 0MS50ZZ

0MS50ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right wrist bursa and ligament using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of joint, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.96).

For a different body part, codes include 0MS00ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MS10ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MS20ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MS30ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MS40ZZ (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0MS60ZZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MS54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.

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