About 0SPJX3Z
0SPJX3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left tarsal joint using an external 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 0SP0X3Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP2X3Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP3X3Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP4X3Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SP5X3Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP6X3Z (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPJ03Z (open), 0SPJ33Z (percutaneous) and 0SPJ43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SPJX0Z (drainage device), 0SPJX4Z (internal fixation device) and 0SPJX5Z (external fixation device).
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.
