About 0SJ33ZZ
0SJ33ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the lumbosacral joint using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative measurements and examinations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.39).
For a different body part, codes include 0SJ03ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SJ23ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SJ43ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SJ53ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SJ63ZZ (coccygeal joint), 0SJ73ZZ (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SJ30ZZ (open), 0SJ34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SJ3XZZ (external).
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.
