About 0SPL03Z

0SPL03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using an open 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 other arthrotomy, foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.18).

For a different body part, codes include 0SP003Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP203Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP303Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP403Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SP503Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP603Z (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPL33Z (percutaneous), 0SPL43Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SPLX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SPL00Z (drainage device), 0SPL04Z (internal fixation device), 0SPL05Z (external fixation device), 0SPL07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPL08Z (spacer), 0SPL0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Foot Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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