About 0RCT3ZZ
0RCT3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left carpometacarpal joint using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, hand and finger, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.14).
For a different body part, codes include 0RC03ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RC13ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RC33ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RC43ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RC53ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RC63ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RCT0ZZ (open) and 0RCT4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 506 (Major Thumb or Joint Procedures) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Major Thumb or Joint Procedures” and “Hand Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
