About 00Q60ZZ

00Q60ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the cerebral ventricle 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 repair of brain, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (02.92).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00Q63ZZ (percutaneous) and 00Q64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC), DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 026 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 027 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R.
