About 0SPL3JZ

0SPL3JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using a percutaneous approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to arthrotomy for removal of prosthesis without replacement, foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.08).

For a different body part, codes include 0SP03JZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP23JZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP33JZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SP43JZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SP53JZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP63JZ (coccygeal joint) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPL0JZ (open) and 0SPL4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SPL30Z (drainage device), 0SPL33Z (infusion device), 0SPL34Z (internal fixation device), 0SPL35Z (external fixation device), 0SPL37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPL38Z (spacer) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC), DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur 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 “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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