About 0RHA3BZ

0RHA3BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the thoracolumbar vertebral joint using a percutaneous approach with spinal stabilization device, interspinous process. 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 insertion or replacement of interspinous process device(s), the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.80).

For a different body part, codes include 0RH03BZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RH13BZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RH43BZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint) and 0RH63BZ (thoracic vertebral joint).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RHA0BZ (open) and 0RHA4BZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0RHA33Z (infusion device), 0RHA34Z (internal fixation device), 0RHA38Z (spacer), 0RHA3CZ (spinal stabilization device, pedicle-based) and 0RHA3DZ (spinal stabilization device, facet replacement).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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