About 0RHK48Z
0RHK48Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left shoulder joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with spacer. 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 (cement) spacer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.56).
For a different body part, codes include 0RH048Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RH148Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RH448Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RH648Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RHA48Z (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), 0RHC48Z (right temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RHK08Z (open) and 0RHK38Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0RHK43Z (infusion device) and 0RHK44Z (internal fixation device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 510 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with MCC), DRG 511 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with CC) and DRG 512 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
