About 0PS144Z

0PS144Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the ribs, 1 to 2 using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with internal fixation device. 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 closed reduction of fracture with internal fixation, other specified bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0PS044Z (sternum), 0PS244Z (ribs, 3 or more), 0PS344Z (cervical vertebra), 0PS444Z (thoracic vertebra), 0PS544Z (right scapula), 0PS644Z (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PS104Z (open) and 0PS134Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0PS14ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), 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) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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