About 0PS2XZZ

0PS2XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the ribs, 3 or more using an external approach. 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 without internal fixation, other specified bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0PS0XZZ (sternum), 0PS1XZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PS3XZZ (cervical vertebra), 0PS4XZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PS5XZZ (right scapula), 0PS6XZZ (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PS20ZZ (open), 0PS23ZZ (percutaneous) and 0PS24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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