About 0CWA00Z

0CWA00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the salivary gland using an open approach with drainage 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 incision of salivary gland or duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (26.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0CWS00Z (larynx) and 0CWY00Z (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CWA30Z (percutaneous) and 0CWAX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0CWA0CZ (extraluminal device) and 0CWA0YZ (other device).

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.
