About 0SWP38Z

0SWP38Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right toe phalangeal joint using a percutaneous approach with spacer. 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, foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.18).

For a different body part, codes include 0SW038Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SW338Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SW538Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SW638Z (coccygeal joint), 0SW738Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SW838Z (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SWP08Z (open), 0SWP48Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SWPX8Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SWP30Z (drainage device), 0SWP33Z (infusion device), 0SWP34Z (internal fixation device), 0SWP35Z (external fixation device), 0SWP37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SWP3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Foot Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
