0Q8 is a non-billable ICD-10-PCS code that heads the group for Lower Bones, Division, so it cannot be submitted on a claim; a more specific seven-character code is required. The root operation Division involves cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.
