About 0SN90ZZ

0SN90ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the right hip joint using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to division of joint capsule, ligament, or cartilage, hip, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.45).

For a different body part, codes include 0SN00ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SN20ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SN30ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SN40ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SN50ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SN60ZZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SN93ZZ (percutaneous), 0SN94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SN9XZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 480 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 481 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with CC), DRG 482 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Limb Reattachment, Hip and Femur Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
