About 0CWA0YZ

0CWA0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the salivary gland using an open approach with other 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 0CWS0YZ (larynx) and 0CWY0YZ (mouth and throat).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CWA3YZ (percutaneous), 0CWA7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CWA8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0CWA00Z (drainage device) and 0CWA0CZ (extraluminal device).

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.
