About 0RW33JZ

0RW33JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the cervical vertebral disc using a percutaneous approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to revision or replacement of artificial spinal disc prosthesis, cervical, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.66).

For a different body part, codes include 0RW03JZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW13JZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW43JZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW53JZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RW63JZ (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RW93JZ (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RW30JZ (open), 0RW34JZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RW3XJZ (external).

With a different device, use 0RW330Z (drainage device), 0RW333Z (infusion device), 0RW337Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0RW33KZ (nonautologous tissue 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”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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