About 0RJC3ZZ
0RJC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right temporomandibular joint using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative measurements and examinations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.39).
For a different body part, codes include 0RJ03ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RJ13ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RJ33ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RJ43ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RJ53ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RJ63ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RJC0ZZ (open), 0RJC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RJCXZZ (external).
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.
