About 0QSC3ZZ

0QSC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the left lower femur using a percutaneous approach. 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 closed reduction of fracture without internal fixation, femur, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0QS03ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0QS13ZZ (sacrum), 0QS23ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0QS33ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0QS43ZZ (right acetabulum), 0QS53ZZ (left acetabulum) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QSC0ZZ (open), 0QSC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0QSCXZZ (external).

With a different device, use 0QSC34Z (internal fixation device), 0QSC35Z (external fixation device), 0QSC36Z (internal fixation device, intramedullary), 0QSC3BZ (external fixation device, monoplanar), 0QSC3CZ (external fixation device, ring) and 0QSC3DZ (external fixation device, hybrid).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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