About 0RJM0ZZ
0RJM0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the left elbow joint using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, elbow, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.12).
For a different body part, codes include 0RJ00ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RJ10ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RJ30ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RJ40ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RJ50ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RJ60ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RJM3ZZ (percutaneous), 0RJM4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RJMXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 507 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 508 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
