About 0RW437Z

0RW437Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the cervicothoracic vertebral joint using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue 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 other arthrotomy, other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0RW037Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW137Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW337Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RW537Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RW637Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RW937Z (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RW407Z (open), 0RW447Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RW4X7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0RW430Z (drainage device), 0RW433Z (infusion device), 0RW434Z (internal fixation device), 0RW438Z (spacer), 0RW43AZ (interbody fusion device), 0RW43JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

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.
