About 0SU237Z
0SU237Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the lumbar vertebral disc using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of the anulus fibrosus with graft or prosthesis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.53).
For a different body part, codes include 0SU037Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SU337Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SU437Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SU537Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SU637Z (coccygeal joint), 0SU737Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SU207Z (open) and 0SU247Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SU23JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SU23KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 519 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with CC) and DRG 520 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
