About 0QSL35Z

0QSL35Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right tarsal using a percutaneous 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, tarsals and metatarsals and closed reduction of fracture without internal fixation, tarsals and metatarsals, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (78.18 and 79.07).

For a different body part, codes include 0QS235Z (right pelvic bone), 0QS335Z (left pelvic bone), 0QS635Z (right upper femur), 0QS735Z (left upper femur), 0QS835Z (right femoral shaft), 0QS935Z (left femoral shaft) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QSL05Z (open) and 0QSL45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0QSL34Z (internal fixation device) and 0QSL3ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot 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 “Foot 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.
