About 0YQA4ZZ
0YQA4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the bilateral inguinal region using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 bilateral repair of inguinal hernia, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (53.10).
For a different body part, codes include 0YQ04ZZ (right buttock), 0YQ14ZZ (left buttock), 0YQ54ZZ (right inguinal region), 0YQ64ZZ (left inguinal region), 0YQ74ZZ (right femoral region), 0YQ84ZZ (left femoral region) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YQA0ZZ (open), 0YQA3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0YQAXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 350 (Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Procedures with MCC), DRG 351 (Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Procedures with CC) and DRG 352 (Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Hernia Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
