About 0QU00KZ

0QU00KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the lumbar vertebra using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to bone graft, other bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (78.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0QU10KZ (sacrum), 0QU20KZ (right pelvic bone), 0QU30KZ (left pelvic bone), 0QU40KZ (right acetabulum), 0QU50KZ (left acetabulum), 0QU60KZ (right upper femur) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QU03KZ (percutaneous) and 0QU04KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0QU007Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0QU00JZ (synthetic substitute).

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 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC) and DRG 959 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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