About 0QTH0ZZ

0QTH0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the left tibia using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to total ostectomy, tibia and fibula, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.97).

For a different body part, codes include 0QT20ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0QT30ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0QT40ZZ (right acetabulum), 0QT50ZZ (left acetabulum), 0QT60ZZ (right upper femur), 0QT70ZZ (left upper femur) and 16 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 492 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 493 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with CC), DRG 494 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur 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 “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur”, “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.
