About 0RBF3ZZ
0RBF3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left sternoclavicular joint using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Synovectomy, shoulder and other excision of joint, shoulder, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.71 and 80.91).
For a different body part, codes include 0RB03ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RB13ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RB33ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RB43ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RB53ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RB63ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RBF0ZZ (open) and 0RBF4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 510 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with MCC), DRG 511 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with CC), DRG 512 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures 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 “Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures”, “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.
