Thoracic Vertebral Joints Insertion Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes inpatient insertion of nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function involving thoracic vertebral joints when eight or more joints are addressed. These procedures target the joints within the thoracic spine and involve placement of devices rather than replacement of anatomical tissue. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these insertions ensures the clinical intent and extent of the appliance placement are captured for inpatient records and reimbursement.
