About 0R9B00Z
0R9B00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the thoracolumbar vertebral disc using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.19).
For a different body part, codes include 0R9000Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0R9100Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0R9300Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0R9400Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0R9500Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0R9600Z (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0R9B30Z (percutaneous) and 0R9B40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0R9B0ZZ (no 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.
