About 0XQL0ZZ
0XQL0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right thumb using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on musculoskeletal system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0XQ20ZZ (right shoulder region), 0XQ30ZZ (left shoulder region), 0XQ40ZZ (right axilla), 0XQ50ZZ (left axilla), 0XQ60ZZ (right upper extremity), 0XQ70ZZ (left upper extremity) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XQL3ZZ (percutaneous), 0XQL4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0XQLXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System 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 “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System 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.
