About 0PS304Z

0PS304Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the cervical vertebra using an open 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 repair of vertebral fracture, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.53).

For a different body part, codes include 0PS004Z (sternum), 0PS104Z (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PS204Z (ribs, 3 or more), 0PS404Z (thoracic vertebra), 0PS504Z (right scapula), 0PS604Z (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PS334Z (percutaneous) and 0PS344Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0PS30ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 519 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with CC) and DRG 520 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

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