About the 0ST Code Range
These procedures remove an entire lower joint or vertebral disc without replacement. The sites include lumbar and lumbosacral discs, the sacrococcygeal and coccygeal joints, and joints from the sacroiliac joint to the toes.
The fourth character identifies the disc or joint and distinguishes right from left where those choices appear. The fifth character is Open, meaning an incision exposes the site. The sixth is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
The Index uses arthrectomy for joint removal and discectomy for disc removal.
