About 0RHP35Z

0RHP35Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left wrist joint using a percutaneous approach with external fixation 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 arthrotomy, wrist, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.13).

For a different body part, codes include 0RHL35Z (right elbow joint), 0RHM35Z (left elbow joint), 0RHN35Z (right wrist joint), 0RHQ35Z (right carpal joint), 0RHR35Z (left carpal joint), 0RHS35Z (right carpometacarpal joint) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RHP05Z (open) and 0RHP45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0RHP33Z (infusion device), 0RHP34Z (internal fixation device) and 0RHP38Z (spacer).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 506 (Major Thumb or Joint Procedures) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Major Thumb or Joint Procedures” and “Hand Procedures for Injuries”.

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