About 0PR407Z

0PR407Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the thoracic vertebra using an open approach with autologous 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 0PR007Z (sternum), 0PR107Z (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PR207Z (ribs, 3 or more), 0PR307Z (cervical vertebra), 0PR507Z (right scapula), 0PR607Z (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PR437Z (percutaneous) and 0PR447Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0PR40JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0PR40KZ (nonautologous tissue 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.
