About 0MX40ZZ

0MX40ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the left elbow bursa and ligament 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 other operations on muscle, tendon, fascia, and bursa, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0MX00ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0MX10ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MX20ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0MX30ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0MX50ZZ (right wrist bursa and ligament), 0MX60ZZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0MX44ZZ (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) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Soft Tissue Procedures”.

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