About 0RP030Z
0RP030Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the occipital-cervical joint using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other therapeutic device, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.89).
For a different body part, codes include 0RP130Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RP330Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RP430Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RP530Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RP630Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RP930Z (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RP000Z (open), 0RP040Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RP0X0Z (external).
With a different device, use 0RP033Z (infusion device), 0RP034Z (internal fixation device), 0RP037Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RP038Z (spacer), 0RP03AZ (interbody fusion device), 0RP03JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
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.
