About 0QS205Z

0QS205Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right pelvic bone using an open approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to application of external fixator device, other bones and open reduction of fracture without internal fixation, other specified bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (78.19 and 79.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0QS305Z (left pelvic bone), 0QS605Z (right upper femur), 0QS705Z (left upper femur), 0QS805Z (right femoral shaft), 0QS905Z (left femoral shaft), 0QSB05Z (right lower femur) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QS235Z (percutaneous) and 0QS245Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0QS204Z (internal fixation device) and 0QS20ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures 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 “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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