About 0SSCXZZ
0SSCXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right knee joint using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to closed reduction of dislocation of knee, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.76).
For a different body part, codes include 0SS0XZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SS3XZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SS5XZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SS6XZZ (coccygeal joint), 0SS7XZZ (right sacroiliac joint), 0SS8XZZ (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SSC0ZZ (open), 0SSC3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0SSC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SSCX4Z (internal fixation device) and 0SSCX5Z (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.
