About 0RRA07Z

0RRA07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the thoracolumbar vertebral joint using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of joint, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.96).

For a different body part, codes include 0RR007Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RR107Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RR307Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RR407Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RR507Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RR607Z (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.

With a different device, use 0RRA0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0RRA0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
