About 0RHC03Z

0RHC03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the right temporomandibular joint using an open 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 incision of facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0RH003Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RH103Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RH303Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RH403Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RH503Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RH603Z (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RHC33Z (percutaneous) and 0RHC43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0RHC04Z (internal fixation device) and 0RHC08Z (spacer).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

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