About 0RPD03Z
0RPD03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left temporomandibular joint using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.09).
For a different body part, codes include 0RP003Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RP103Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RP303Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RP403Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RP503Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RP603Z (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RPD33Z (percutaneous), 0RPD43Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RPDX3Z (external).
With a different device, use 0RPD00Z (drainage device), 0RPD04Z (internal fixation device), 0RPD07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RPD08Z (spacer), 0RPD0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0RPD0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC) and DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures” and “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
