About 0RWEXJZ
0RWEXJZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right sternoclavicular joint using an external 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 other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0RW0XJZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW1XJZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW3XJZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RW4XJZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW5XJZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RW6XJZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RWE0JZ (open), 0RWE3JZ (percutaneous) and 0RWE4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RWEX0Z (drainage device), 0RWEX3Z (infusion device), 0RWEX4Z (internal fixation device), 0RWEX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RWEX8Z (spacer) 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.
