About 0SPC33Z
0SPC33Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right knee joint using a percutaneous approach with infusion 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 0SP033Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP233Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP333Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP433Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SP533Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP633Z (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPC03Z (open), 0SPC43Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SPCX3Z (external).
With a different device, use 0SPC30Z (drainage device), 0SPC34Z (internal fixation device), 0SPC35Z (external fixation device), 0SPC37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPC38Z (spacer), 0SPC3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 4 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.
