About 00WUX3Z

00WUX3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the spinal canal using an external approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 00W0X3Z (brain), 00W6X3Z (cerebral ventricle), 00WEX3Z (cranial nerve) and 00WVX3Z (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00WU03Z (open), 00WU33Z (percutaneous) and 00WU43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00WUX0Z (drainage device), 00WUX2Z (monitoring device), 00WUXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 00WUXMZ (neurostimulator lead).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
