About 0RJS0ZZ
0RJS0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right carpometacarpal 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, hand and finger, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.14).
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 0RJS3ZZ (percutaneous), 0RJS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RJSXZZ (external).
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.
