About 0Q573ZZ
0Q573ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left upper femur using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.
In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, femur, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.65).
For a different body part, codes include 0Q503ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0Q513ZZ (sacrum), 0Q523ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0Q533ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0Q543ZZ (right acetabulum), 0Q553ZZ (left acetabulum) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q570ZZ (open) and 0Q574ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 498 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices of Hip and Femur with CC/MCC), DRG 499 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices of Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R.
