About the 0RT Code Range
These procedures remove an entire named joint or vertebral disc without replacing it. The body parts include vertebral discs and joints, jaw joints, and joints from the shoulder through the fingers.
The fourth character identifies the body part and, for paired joints, the right or left side. The fifth character is Open, meaning the site is exposed by cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and other layers. The sixth character is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
Here, discectomy refers to removing an entire vertebral disc.
