About 0SPK48Z
0SPK48Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right tarsometatarsal 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 0SPK08Z (open) and 0SPK38Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0SPK40Z (drainage device), 0SPK43Z (infusion device), 0SPK44Z (internal fixation device), 0SPK45Z (external fixation device), 0SPK47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPK4JZ (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.
