ICD-10-PCS Code For Lumbar Vertebral Disc: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0SU2 includes procedures performed to supplement biological or synthetic material in the lumbar vertebral disc. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when material is placed to reinforce or augment the function of the lumbar vertebral disc, such as biologic grafts or synthetic implants. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0SU2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lumbar Vertebral Disc Supplement Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient operations that place biological or synthetic material to reinforce or augment a lumbar vertebral disc. These procedures target the lower joints body system and specifically the lumbar vertebral disc. Accurate ICD-10-PCS assignment is important because it reflects the correct root operation and body part, which affects inpatient reimbursement and clinical data integrity.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a biological or synthetic material is intentionally placed to augment or reinforce the lumbar vertebral disc during an inpatient encounter. Do not use these codes for procedures that remove or replace disc material without adding a reinforcing material.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 52-year-old patient with chronic degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine and persistent axial low back pain refractory to conservative therapy is admitted for a planned operative augmentation of the lumbar intervertebral disc to restore disc height and provide biologic support. During a scheduled open lumbar procedure, autologous tissue harvested from the patient is placed into the disc space to reinforce the damaged annulus and promote structural support. The intent is to supplement the lumbar vertebral disc with the patient’s own tissue to improve stability and reduce pain. Typical codes: 0SU207Z
A 38-year-old athlete presents acutely after a high-energy twisting injury with severe focal lumbar pain and MRI evidence of a contained disc defect at L4-L5 with significant annular disruption but no gross extrusion. The surgical team performs a percutaneous augmentation of the lumbar disc to reinforce the annulus using a synthetic implant to restore function and prevent further herniation. The procedure is done during the inpatient stay via a minimally invasive percutaneous approach. Typical codes: 0SU23JZ
A 66-year-old patient with prior lumbar disc augmentation presents weeks after a percutaneous endoscopic procedure with recurrent instability and failure of the initial biologic graft to integrate. The care team proceeds with a percutaneous endoscopic revision, removing failed material as needed and placing a nonautologous tissue substitute to augment the lumbar disc and address the persistent mechanical symptoms. The revision is performed inpatient via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to supplement the disc with donor-derived tissue. Typical codes: 0SU24KZ
