About 0SW0XJZ
0SW0XJZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the lumbar vertebral joint using an external approach with synthetic substitute. 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0SW2XJZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SW3XJZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SW4XJZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SW5XJZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SW6XJZ (coccygeal joint), 0SW7XJZ (right sacroiliac joint) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SW00JZ (open), 0SW03JZ (percutaneous) and 0SW04JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SW0X0Z (drainage device), 0SW0X3Z (infusion device), 0SW0X4Z (internal fixation device), 0SW0X7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SW0X8Z (spacer), 0SW0XAZ (interbody fusion device) and 1 more.
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.
