About 0SC73ZZ

0SC73ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right sacroiliac joint using a percutaneous 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 0SC03ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SC23ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SC33ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SC43ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SC53ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SC63ZZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SC70ZZ (open) and 0SC74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
