About the 0SJ Code Range

These procedures examine lower joints and the lumbar and lumbosacral discs by looking at or feeling them. Arthroscopy means looking inside a joint with a scope.

The fourth character identifies the joint or disc. It distinguishes right from left for sites from the sacroiliac joint through the toe joints. The fifth character describes access: Open exposes the site through an incision; Percutaneous uses a puncture or small incision; Percutaneous Endoscopic adds a scope; External works through the skin. The sixth character is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
