About 0QCN0ZZ

0QCN0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right metatarsal 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, tarsals and metatarsals, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.08).

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 0QCN3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0QCN4ZZ (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 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 “Foot 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.
