About 02WAXRS
02WAXRS is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the heart using an external approach with short-term external heart assist system (qualifier: biventricular). 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).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02WA0RS (open), 02WA3RS (percutaneous) and 02WA4RS (percutaneous endoscopic).
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 FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
