About 0CWY30Z

0CWY30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the mouth and throat using a percutaneous 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 mouth, unspecified structure, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (27.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0CWA30Z (salivary gland) and 0CWS30Z (larynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CWY00Z (open), 0CWY70Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0CWY80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0CWYX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0CWY31Z (radioactive element), 0CWY37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0CWY3DZ (intraluminal device), 0CWY3JZ (synthetic substitute), 0CWY3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0CWY3YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 137 (Mouth Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 138 (Mouth Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Mouth Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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