0SH008ZInsertion of Spacer into Lumbar Vertebral Joint, Open Approach

0SH008Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the lumbar vertebral joint using an open approach with spacer. 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 or replacement of (cement) spacer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.56).

For a different body part, codes include 0SH208Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SH308Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SH408Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SH508Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SH608Z (coccygeal joint), 0SH708Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SH038Z (percutaneous) and 0SH048Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SH003Z (infusion device), 0SH004Z (internal fixation device), 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.
