About 0HWPXKZ

0HWPXKZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the skin using an external approach with nonautologous 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0HWQXKZ (finger nail), 0HWRXKZ (toe nail) and 0HWSXKZ (hair).

With a different device, use 0HWPX0Z (drainage device), 0HWPX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0HWPXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HWPXYZ (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.
