About 0Q8D4ZZ
0Q8D4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the right patella using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other division of bone, patella, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.36).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q8D0ZZ (open) and 0Q8D3ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 400 (Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Infection), DRG 488 (Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection with CC/MCC), DRG 489 (Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Infection”, “Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection”, “Other O.R.
