0Y6C0Z2Detachment at Right Upper Leg, Mid, Open Approach

0Y6C0Z2 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a detachment procedure on the right upper leg using an open approach (qualifier: mid). In ICD-10-PCS, detachment means cutting off all or a portion of the upper or lower extremities.

In plain terms, this corresponds to amputation above knee, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.17).

For a different body part, codes include 0Y6D0Z2 (left upper leg), 0Y6H0Z2 (right lower leg), 0Y6J0Z2 (left lower leg), 0Y6R0Z2 (right 2nd toe), 0Y6S0Z2 (left 2nd toe), 0Y6T0Z2 (right 3rd toe) and 5 more.

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 239 (Amputation for Circulatory System Disorders Except Upper Limb and Toe with MCC), DRG 240 (Amputation for Circulatory System Disorders Except Upper Limb and Toe with CC) and DRG 241 (Amputation for Circulatory System Disorders Except Upper Limb and Toe without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Amputation for Circulatory System Disorders Except Upper Limb and Toe”, “Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection” and 5 more.

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