About 0RHX48Z
0RHX48Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left finger phalangeal 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 0RHX08Z (open) and 0RHX38Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0RHX43Z (infusion device), 0RHX44Z (internal fixation device) and 0RHX45Z (external fixation device).
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.
