About 0YQE0ZZ
0YQE0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the bilateral femoral region 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 bilateral femoral herniorrhaphy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (53.39).
For a different body part, codes include 0YQ00ZZ (right buttock), 0YQ10ZZ (left buttock), 0YQ50ZZ (right inguinal region), 0YQ60ZZ (left inguinal region), 0YQ70ZZ (right femoral region), 0YQ80ZZ (left femoral region) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YQE3ZZ (percutaneous), 0YQE4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0YQEXZZ (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.
