About 0LQT0ZZ
0LQT0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left ankle tendon 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 suture of tendon sheath, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.61).
For a different body part, codes include 0LQ00ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0LQ10ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0LQ20ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0LQ30ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0LQ40ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0LQ50ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LQT3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0LQT4ZZ (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.
