About 0KWXXMZ

0KWXXMZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the upper muscle using an external approach with stimulator lead. 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 0KWYXMZ (lower muscle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KWX0MZ (open), 0KWX3MZ (percutaneous) and 0KWX4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0KWXX0Z (drainage device), 0KWXX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0KWXXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0KWXXKZ (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.
