0LX is a non-billable ICD-10-PCS code that heads the group for Tendons, Transfer, so it cannot be submitted on a claim; a more specific seven-character code is required. The root operation Transfer involves moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.
