About 0SW240Z

0SW240Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the lumbar vertebral disc using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SW040Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SW340Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SW440Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SW540Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SW640Z (coccygeal joint), 0SW740Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SW200Z (open), 0SW230Z (percutaneous) and 0SW2X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SW243Z (infusion device), 0SW247Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SW24JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SW24KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
