About 0SC54ZZ
0SC54ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the sacrococcygeal joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
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 0SC04ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SC24ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SC34ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SC44ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SC64ZZ (coccygeal joint), 0SC74ZZ (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SC50ZZ (open) and 0SC53ZZ (percutaneous).
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.
