About 0YU50JZ

0YU50JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the right inguinal region using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of inguinal hernia with graft or prosthesis, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (53.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0YU00JZ (right buttock), 0YU10JZ (left buttock), 0YU60JZ (left inguinal region), 0YU70JZ (right femoral region), 0YU80JZ (left femoral region), 0YU90JZ (right lower extremity) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YU54JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0YU507Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0YU50KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
