About XRGB0EA

XRGB0EA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the lumbar vertebral joint using an open approach with facet joint fusion device, paired titanium cages (qualifier: new technology group 10). In ICD-10-PCS, fusion means joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.

For a different body part, codes include XRGA0EA (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), XRGC0EA (lumbar vertebral joints, 2 or more) and XRGD0EA (lumbosacral joint).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 402 (Single Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical), DRG 426 (Multiple Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with MCC) and DRG 427 (Multiple Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical with CC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Single Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical”, “Multiple Level Combined Anterior and Posterior Spinal Fusion Except Cervical” and 5 more.
