About 0SBC4ZX
0SBC4ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right knee joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of joint structure, knee, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.36).
For a different body part, codes include 0SB04ZX (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SB24ZX (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SB34ZX (lumbosacral joint), 0SB44ZX (lumbosacral disc), 0SB54ZX (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SB64ZX (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SBC0ZX (open) and 0SBC3ZX (percutaneous).
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.
