About 0RPR4JZ
0RPR4JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left carpal joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to arthrotomy for removal of prosthesis without replacement, hand and finger, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.04).
For a different body part, codes include 0RP04JZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RP14JZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RP34JZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RP44JZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RP54JZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RP64JZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RPR0JZ (open) and 0RPR3JZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0RPR40Z (drainage device), 0RPR43Z (infusion device), 0RPR44Z (internal fixation device), 0RPR45Z (external fixation device), 0RPR47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RPR48Z (spacer) and 1 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
