About 0RHV45Z
0RHV45Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left metacarpophalangeal joint using a percutaneous endoscopic 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, hand and finger, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.14).
For a different body part, codes include 0RHL45Z (right elbow joint), 0RHM45Z (left elbow joint), 0RHN45Z (right wrist joint), 0RHP45Z (left wrist joint), 0RHQ45Z (right carpal joint), 0RHR45Z (left carpal joint) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RHV05Z (open) and 0RHV35Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0RHV43Z (infusion device), 0RHV44Z (internal fixation device) and 0RHV48Z (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.
