About 0QBL3ZZ

0QBL3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right tarsal using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, unspecified site, local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, tarsals and metatarsals and other partial ostectomy, tarsals and metatarsals, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (77.60, 77.68 and 77.88).
