About XRH60FA

XRH60FA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the thoracic vertebral joint using an open approach with carbon/peek spinal stabilization device, pedicle based (qualifier: new technology group 10). In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

For a different body part, codes include XRH70FA (thoracic vertebral joints, 2 to 7), XRH80FA (thoracic vertebral joints, 8 or more), XRHA0FA (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), XRHB0FA (lumbar vertebral joint), XRHC0FA (lumbar vertebral joints, 2 or more) and XRHD0FA (lumbosacral joint).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded XRH63FA (percutaneous) and XRH64FA (percutaneous endoscopic).

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 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 907 (Other O.R.
