About 0RH043Z
0RH043Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the occipital-cervical joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0RH143Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RH343Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RH443Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RH543Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RH643Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RH943Z (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RH003Z (open) and 0RH033Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0RH044Z (internal fixation device), 0RH048Z (spacer), 0RH04BZ (spinal stabilization device, interspinous process), 0RH04CZ (spinal stabilization device, pedicle-based) and 0RH04DZ (spinal stabilization device, facet replacement).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
