About 0PR33KZ

0PR33KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the cervical vertebra using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to bone graft, other bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (78.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0PR03KZ (sternum), 0PR13KZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PR23KZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PR43KZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PR53KZ (right scapula), 0PR63KZ (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PR30KZ (open) and 0PR34KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0PR337Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0PR33JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures 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 Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
