About 0XQ6XZZ

0XQ6XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right upper extremity using an external 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 operations on musculoskeletal system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0XQ2XZZ (right shoulder region), 0XQ3XZZ (left shoulder region), 0XQ4XZZ (right axilla), 0XQ5XZZ (left axilla), 0XQ7XZZ (left upper extremity), 0XQ8XZZ (right upper arm) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XQ60ZZ (open), 0XQ63ZZ (percutaneous) and 0XQ64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC) and DRG 959 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “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.
