About 0RHT03Z
0RHT03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left carpometacarpal 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 insertion of totally implantable infusion pump, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.06).
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 0RHT33Z (percutaneous) and 0RHT43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RHT04Z (internal fixation device), 0RHT05Z (external fixation device) and 0RHT08Z (spacer).
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.
