About 0RGF3KZ

0RGF3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the left sternoclavicular joint using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, fusion means joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.

In plain terms, this corresponds to arthrodesis of shoulder, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.23).

For a different body part, codes include 0RGC3KZ (right temporomandibular joint), 0RGD3KZ (left temporomandibular joint), 0RGE3KZ (right sternoclavicular joint), 0RGG3KZ (right acromioclavicular joint), 0RGH3KZ (left acromioclavicular joint), 0RGJ3KZ (right shoulder joint) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RGF0KZ (open) and 0RGF4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0RGF34Z (internal fixation device), 0RGF37Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0RGF3JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 507 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 508 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures”.

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