About 0RQP0ZZ
0RQP0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left wrist joint 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 repair of hand, fingers, and wrist, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.79).
For a different body part, codes include 0RQ00ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RQ10ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RQ30ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RQ40ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RQ50ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RQ60ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RQP3ZZ (percutaneous), 0RQP4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RQPXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 506 (Major Thumb or Joint Procedures), DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
