About 0SP948Z

0SP948Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right hip joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with spacer. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of (cement) spacer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.57).

For a different body part, codes include 0SP048Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP348Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP548Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP648Z (coccygeal joint), 0SP748Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SP848Z (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SP908Z (open) and 0SP938Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0SP940Z (drainage device), 0SP943Z (infusion device), 0SP944Z (internal fixation device), 0SP945Z (external fixation device), 0SP947Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SP94JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 463 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 464 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders with CC), DRG 465 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders without CC/MCC), DRG 461 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity with MCC), DRG 462 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity without MCC) and DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), under the surgical categories “Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders”, “Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity” and “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”.

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