About 0QDF0ZZ
0QDF0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the left patella using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to nonexcisional debridement of wound, infection or burn, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.28).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.
