About 0YQAXZZ

0YQAXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the bilateral inguinal region using an external 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 manual reduction of hernia, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0YQ0XZZ (right buttock), 0YQ1XZZ (left buttock), 0YQ5XZZ (right inguinal region), 0YQ6XZZ (left inguinal region), 0YQ7XZZ (right femoral region), 0YQ8XZZ (left femoral region) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YQA0ZZ (open), 0YQA3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0YQA4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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