0SH is a non-billable ICD-10-PCS code that heads the group for Lower Joints, Insertion, so it cannot be submitted on a claim; a more specific seven-character code is required. The root operation Insertion involves putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
