About 02WAXNZ
02WAXNZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the heart using an external approach with intracardiac pacemaker. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02WA0NZ (open), 02WA3NZ (percutaneous) and 02WA4NZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 02WAX2Z (monitoring device), 02WAX3Z (infusion device), 02WAX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02WAX8Z (zooplastic tissue), 02WAXCZ (extraluminal device), 02WAXDZ (intraluminal device) and 5 more.
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
