About 0QCG0ZZ

0QCG0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right tibia using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Sequestrectomy, tibia and fibula, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.07).

For a different body part, codes include 0QC00ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0QC10ZZ (sacrum), 0QC20ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0QC30ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0QC40ZZ (right acetabulum), 0QC50ZZ (left acetabulum) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QCG3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0QCG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 403 (Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 404 (Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection without MCC), 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) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection”, “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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