About 0MU44KZ

0MU44KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the left elbow bursa and ligament using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of 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 0MU04KZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MU14KZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MU24KZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MU34KZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MU54KZ (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MU64KZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MU40KZ (open).

With a different device, use 0MU447Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0MU44JZ (synthetic substitute).

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.
