About 0KQR3ZZ
0KQR3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left upper leg muscle using a percutaneous 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 Quadricepsplasty, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.86).
For a different body part, codes include 0KQ03ZZ (head muscle), 0KQ13ZZ (facial muscle), 0KQ23ZZ (right neck muscle), 0KQ33ZZ (left neck muscle), 0KQ43ZZ (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0KQ53ZZ (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KQR0ZZ (open) and 0KQR4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other O.R. 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.
