About 0YQ53ZZ
0YQ53ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right inguinal region using a percutaneous 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 unilateral repair of inguinal hernia, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (53.00).
For a different body part, codes include 0YQ03ZZ (right buttock), 0YQ13ZZ (left buttock), 0YQ63ZZ (left inguinal region), 0YQ73ZZ (right femoral region), 0YQ83ZZ (left femoral region), 0YQ93ZZ (right lower extremity) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YQ50ZZ (open), 0YQ54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0YQ5XZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 350 (Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Procedures with MCC), DRG 351 (Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Procedures with CC) and DRG 352 (Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Hernia Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
