About 0SJCXZZ
0SJCXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right knee joint using an external 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 0SJ0XZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SJ2XZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SJ3XZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SJ4XZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SJ5XZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SJ6XZZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SJC0ZZ (open), 0SJC3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0SJC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
