About 0K5C4ZZ

0K5C4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right hand muscle using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of muscle of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (82.22).

For a different body part, codes include 0K504ZZ (head muscle), 0K514ZZ (facial muscle), 0K524ZZ (right neck muscle), 0K534ZZ (left neck muscle), 0K544ZZ (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0K554ZZ (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0K5C0ZZ (open) and 0K5C3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC) and DRG 959 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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