About 0RS0X4Z
0RS0X4Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the occipital-cervical joint using an external approach with internal fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to closed reduction of dislocation of other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.79).
For a different body part, codes include 0RS1X4Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RS4X4Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RS6X4Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RSAX4Z (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), 0RSCX4Z (right temporomandibular joint), 0RSDX4Z (left temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RS004Z (open), 0RS034Z (percutaneous) and 0RS044Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RS0XZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
