0SRB02AReplacement of Left Hip Joint with Metal on Polyethylene Synthetic Substitute, Uncemented, Open Approach

0SRB02A is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left hip joint using an open approach with synthetic substitute, metal on polyethylene (qualifier: uncemented). In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to hip bearing surface, metal-on-polyethylene and total hip replacement, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.74 and 81.51).

For a different body part, codes include 0SR902A (right hip joint).

With a different device, use 0SRB01A (synthetic substitute, metal), 0SRB03A (synthetic substitute, ceramic), 0SRB04A (synthetic substitute, ceramic on polyethylene), 0SRB06A (synthetic substitute, oxidized zirconium on polyethylene) and 0SRB0JA (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 461 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity with MCC), DRG 462 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity without MCC), DRG 469 (Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity with MCC or Total Ankle Replacement), DRG 470 (Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without MCC), DRG 521 (Hip Replacement with Principal Diagnosis of Hip Fracture with MCC) and DRG 522 (Hip Replacement with Principal Diagnosis of Hip Fracture without MCC), under the surgical categories “Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity”, “Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity or Total Ankle Replacement”, “Hip Replacement with Principal Diagnosis of Hip Fracture” and 2 more.

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