About 0RBN3ZZ
0RBN3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right wrist joint using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Synovectomy, wrist and other excision of joint, wrist, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.73 and 80.93).
For a different body part, codes include 0RB03ZZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RB13ZZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RB33ZZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RB43ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RB53ZZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RB63ZZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RBN0ZZ (open) and 0RBN4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 513 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 514 (Hand or Wrist Procedures, Except Major Thumb or Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), DRG 957 (Other O.R.
