About 0SPKX0Z
0SPKX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right tarsometatarsal joint using an external 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 0SP0X0Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP2X0Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP3X0Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP4X0Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SP5X0Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP6X0Z (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPK00Z (open), 0SPK30Z (percutaneous) and 0SPK40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SPKX3Z (infusion device), 0SPKX4Z (internal fixation device) and 0SPKX5Z (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.
