About 0QWM04Z

0QWM04Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left tarsal using an open approach with internal fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of bone without division, tarsals and metatarsals, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.18).

For a different body part, codes include 0QW004Z (lumbar vertebra), 0QW104Z (sacrum), 0QW204Z (right pelvic bone), 0QW304Z (left pelvic bone), 0QW404Z (right acetabulum), 0QW504Z (left acetabulum) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QWM34Z (percutaneous), 0QWM44Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0QWMX4Z (external).

With a different device, use 0QWM05Z (external fixation device), 0QWM07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0QWM0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0QWM0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC) and DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Foot Procedures”.

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