About 0RWEX8Z
0RWEX8Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right sternoclavicular joint using an external approach with spacer. 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0RW0X8Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW1X8Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW4X8Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW6X8Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RWAX8Z (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), 0RWCX8Z (right temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RWE08Z (open), 0RWE38Z (percutaneous) and 0RWE48Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RWEX0Z (drainage device), 0RWEX3Z (infusion device), 0RWEX4Z (internal fixation device), 0RWEX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RWEXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0RWEXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
