About 0SP030Z
0SP030Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the lumbar vertebral joint using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other therapeutic device, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.89).
For a different body part, codes include 0SP230Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP330Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP430Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SP530Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP630Z (coccygeal joint), 0SP730Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SP000Z (open), 0SP040Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SP0X0Z (external).
With a different device, use 0SP033Z (infusion device), 0SP034Z (internal fixation device), 0SP037Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SP038Z (spacer), 0SP03AZ (interbody fusion device), 0SP03JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
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.
