About 0RPJ48Z

0RPJ48Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right shoulder joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with spacer. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of (cement) spacer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.57).

For a different body part, codes include 0RP048Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RP148Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RP448Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RP648Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RPA48Z (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), 0RPC48Z (right temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RPJ08Z (open) and 0RPJ38Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0RPJ40Z (drainage device), 0RPJ43Z (infusion device), 0RPJ44Z (internal fixation device), 0RPJ47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RPJ4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0RPJ4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 510 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with MCC), DRG 511 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with CC) and DRG 512 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures”.

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