About 0SBL3ZX
0SBL3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using a percutaneous 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, foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.38).
For a different body part, codes include 0SB03ZX (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SB23ZX (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SB33ZX (lumbosacral joint), 0SB43ZX (lumbosacral disc), 0SB53ZX (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SB63ZX (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SBL0ZX (open) and 0SBL4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
