0R513ZZDestruction of Cervical Vertebral Joint, Percutaneous Approach

0R513ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the cervical vertebral joint using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other local excision or destruction of lesion of joint, unspecified site and other local excision or destruction of lesion of joint, other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.80 and 80.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0R503ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0R533ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0R543ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0R553ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0R563ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint), 0R593ZZ (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0R510ZZ (open) and 0R514ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC), DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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