About 0QTM0ZZ
0QTM0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the left tarsal 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, tarsals and metatarsals, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.98).
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 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.
