About 0SH348Z
0SH348Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the lumbosacral joint using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SH048Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SH248Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SH448Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SH548Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SH648Z (coccygeal joint), 0SH748Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SH308Z (open) and 0SH338Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0SH343Z (infusion device), 0SH344Z (internal fixation device), 0SH34BZ (spinal stabilization device, interspinous process), 0SH34CZ (spinal stabilization device, pedicle-based) and 0SH34DZ (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.
