0RTX0ZZResection of Left Finger Phalangeal Joint, Open Approach

0RTX0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the left finger phalangeal joint using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of joint, hand and finger, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.94).

For a different body part, codes include 0RT30ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RT40ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RT50ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RT90ZZ (thoracic vertebral disc), 0RTB0ZZ (thoracolumbar vertebral disc), 0RTC0ZZ (right temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Hand Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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