About 0SW000Z

0SW000Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the lumbar vertebral joint using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0SW200Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SW300Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SW400Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SW500Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SW600Z (coccygeal joint), 0SW700Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SW030Z (percutaneous), 0SW040Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SW0X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SW003Z (infusion device), 0SW004Z (internal fixation device), 0SW007Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SW008Z (spacer), 0SW00AZ (interbody fusion device), 0SW00JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.

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