About 0SCM3ZZ

0SCM3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right metatarsal-phalangeal 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, foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.18).

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 0SCM0ZZ (open) and 0SCM4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Foot Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
