About 0Q5M3ZZ
0Q5M3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left tarsal using a percutaneous 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 local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, tarsals and metatarsals, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.68).
For a different body part, codes include 0Q503ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0Q513ZZ (sacrum), 0Q523ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0Q533ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0Q543ZZ (right acetabulum), 0Q553ZZ (left acetabulum) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q5M0ZZ (open) and 0Q5M4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Foot Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
