About 0RUB3KZ
0RUB3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the thoracolumbar vertebral disc using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of the anulus fibrosus with graft or prosthesis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.53).
For a different body part, codes include 0RU03KZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RU13KZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RU33KZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RU43KZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RU53KZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RU63KZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RUB0KZ (open) and 0RUB4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RUB37Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0RUB3JZ (synthetic substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 519 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with CC) and DRG 520 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
