About 0SW70JZ
0SW70JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right sacroiliac joint using an open 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 arthrotomy, other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.19).
For a different body part, codes include 0SW00JZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SW20JZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SW30JZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SW40JZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SW50JZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SW60JZ (coccygeal joint) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SW73JZ (percutaneous), 0SW74JZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SW7XJZ (external).
With a different device, use 0SW700Z (drainage device), 0SW703Z (infusion device), 0SW704Z (internal fixation device), 0SW707Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SW708Z (spacer) and 0SW70KZ (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.
