About 0SH003Z
0SH003Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the lumbar vertebral joint using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to insertion of totally implantable infusion pump, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.06).
For a different body part, codes include 0SH203Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SH303Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SH403Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SH503Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SH603Z (coccygeal joint), 0SH703Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SH033Z (percutaneous) and 0SH043Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SH004Z (internal fixation device), 0SH008Z (spacer), 0SH00BZ (spinal stabilization device, interspinous process), 0SH00CZ (spinal stabilization device, pedicle-based) and 0SH00DZ (spinal stabilization device, facet replacement).
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.
