About 0PS43ZZ

0PS43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the thoracic vertebra using a percutaneous 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 repair of vertebral fracture, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.53).

For a different body part, codes include 0PS03ZZ (sternum), 0PS13ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PS23ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PS33ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0PS53ZZ (right scapula), 0PS63ZZ (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PS40ZZ (open), 0PS44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0PS4XZZ (external).

With a different device, use 0PS434Z (internal fixation device).

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) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.

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