About 0SPL08Z
0SPL08Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using an open 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 0SP008Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP308Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP508Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP608Z (coccygeal joint), 0SP708Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SP808Z (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPL38Z (percutaneous) and 0SPL48Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SPL00Z (drainage device), 0SPL03Z (infusion device), 0SPL04Z (internal fixation device), 0SPL05Z (external fixation device), 0SPL07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPL0JZ (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.
