About 0PJY0ZZ

0PJY0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the upper bone using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to diagnostic procedures on bone, not elsewhere classified, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], diagnostic procedures on bone, not elsewhere classified, humerus, diagnostic procedures on bone, not elsewhere classified, radius and ulna and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (78.81, 78.82, 78.83 and 2 more).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PJY3ZZ (percutaneous), 0PJY4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0PJYXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 477 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 478 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with CC) and DRG 479 (Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures” and “Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
