About 0HWQX7Z

0HWQX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the finger nail using an external 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0HWPX7Z (skin), 0HWRX7Z (toe nail) and 0HWSX7Z (hair).

With a different device, use 0HWQX0Z (drainage device), 0HWQXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HWQXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
