About 0PS040Z
0PS040Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the sternum using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with internal fixation device, rigid plate. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to insertion of sternal fixation device with rigid plates, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.94).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PS000Z (open) and 0PS030Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0PS044Z (internal fixation device) and 0PS04ZZ (no device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
