About 0RPS40Z
0RPS40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right carpometacarpal joint using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 other arthrotomy, hand and finger, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.14).
For a different body part, codes include 0RP040Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RP140Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RP340Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RP440Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RP540Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RP640Z (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RPS00Z (open), 0RPS30Z (percutaneous) and 0RPSX0Z (external).
With a different device, use 0RPS43Z (infusion device), 0RPS44Z (internal fixation device), 0RPS45Z (external fixation device), 0RPS47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RPS48Z (spacer), 0RPS4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
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.
