About 0SW503Z

0SW503Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the sacrococcygeal joint using an open approach with infusion 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 0SW003Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SW203Z (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SW303Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SW403Z (lumbosacral disc), 0SW603Z (coccygeal joint), 0SW703Z (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SW533Z (percutaneous), 0SW543Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SW5X3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SW500Z (drainage device), 0SW504Z (internal fixation device), 0SW507Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SW508Z (spacer), 0SW50JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SW50KZ (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.
