About 0RW607Z

0RW607Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the thoracic vertebral joint using an open 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 0RW007Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW107Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW307Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0RW407Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW507Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RW907Z (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RW637Z (percutaneous), 0RW647Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RW6X7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0RW600Z (drainage device), 0RW603Z (infusion device), 0RW604Z (internal fixation device), 0RW608Z (spacer), 0RW60AZ (interbody fusion device), 0RW60JZ (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.
