About 0Q8H0ZZ
0Q8H0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the left tibia using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other division of bone, tibia and fibula, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.37).
For a different body part, codes include 0Q800ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0Q810ZZ (sacrum), 0Q820ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0Q830ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0Q840ZZ (right acetabulum), 0Q850ZZ (left acetabulum) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q8H3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0Q8H4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 492 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 493 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with CC), DRG 494 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur 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 “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
