The code for this procedure is 0QB20ZZ, with the body part character (fourth character) being 2 for right pelvic bone. The iliac crest does not have its own distinct body part value in ICD-10-PCS, with the ICD-10-PCS Body Part Key indicating that the pelvic bone is the closest proximal branch.
The iliac crest is the most common donor area used for an autograft in spinal fusion. Local bone from the lamina and spinous process bone are also considered to be autograft. These are coded to autologous tissue substitute in ICD-10-PCS fusion procedure when used alone.

Allograft —this is bone that comes from a cadaver or bone graft substitute/tissue bank. This is the most commonly used alternative to a patient’s bone/autograft. Allograft bone is oftentimes used as a supplement to the patient’s own bone. These are coded to non-autologous tissue substitute in ICD-10-PCS fusion procedures when used alone.
Autograft —this comes from the patient’s own bone. The iliac crest is the most common donor area used for an autograft in spinal fusion. Local bone from the lamina and spinous process bone are also considered to be autograft. These are coded to autologous tissue substitute in ICD-10-PCS fusion procedure when used alone.

The implementation of ICD-10-PCS has enhanced the skills of coding professionals as it contains many unique features that provide an opportunity to accurately reflect the complexity of the procedures being performed. The assignment of ICD-9-CM procedure codes for spinal fusions often challenged coding professionals, and this has not changed with the transition to ICD-10-PCS. As with the coding of other complex surgical procedures, coding professionals struggle with identifying which portion of the spinal fusion procedure to code or not to code.
The codes for the anterior spinal fusion are 0SG00AJ (L4-L5) and 0SG30AJ (L5-S1) . Two codes are also assigned for the posterior spinal fusion, 0SG0071 (L4-L5) and 0SG3071 (L5-S1) . Codes 0SB20ZZ and 0SB40ZZ are also assigned for the discectomy performed at two different levels of the spine. Lastly, code 0QB20ZZ is assigned for the harvesting of the right iliac crest bone graft.
If an interbody fusion device is used (alone or containing other material like bone graft), the procedure is coded with the device value Interbody Fusion Device (A)
YES and NO! It all depends on where the autograft is obtained from. If the bone obtained for the autograft is at a different body site than the spinal fusion, then YES the harvesting of the autograft is coded separately.
A separate code would be reported for the harvesting of the autograft since it is not in the spine area. Another example would be when the autograft is taken from the disc space during discectomy to use for the spinal fusion. A separate code would NOT be reported for the harvesting of the autograft from the disc space since it is at the site ...
If the bone obtained for the autograft is at the site of the spinal fusion, then NO the harvesting of the autograft is not coded separately.
Assign code 77.7X, Excision of bone for grafting, for locally harvested bone used in grafting. There are no instructional notes in the Tabular List or Index to Procedures that prohibits the coding of locally harvested bone. Please see Coding Clinic Second Quarter 2000, pages 12-13, for an example using locally harvested bone for grafting.
We have been instructed that locally harvested bone used as graft material in spinal fusion surgery is not coded separately. Harvesting of bone for grafting could only be coded separately if the harvested bone comes from a different location (i.e., iliac crest or rib cage). Can locally harvested bone used for grafting in spinal fusion be coded separately?
