About 0RQ30ZZ

0RQ30ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the cervical vertebral disc 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 other and unspecified repair of the anulus fibrosus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.54).

For a different body part, codes include 0RQ00ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RQ10ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RQ40ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RQ50ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RQ60ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RQ90ZZ (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RQ33ZZ (percutaneous), 0RQ34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RQ3XZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 519 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with CC) and DRG 520 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

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