About 0BW137Z

0BW137Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the trachea using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. 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 incision of larynx or trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0BW037Z (tracheobronchial tree) and 0BWT37Z (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BW107Z (open), 0BW147Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BW177Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0BW187Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BW1X7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BW130Z (drainage device), 0BW132Z (monitoring device), 0BW13CZ (extraluminal device), 0BW13DZ (intraluminal device), 0BW13FZ (tracheostomy device), 0BW13JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

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