About 0LWX07Z

0LWX07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the upper tendon using an open 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 tenotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.13).

For a different body part, codes include 0LWY07Z (lower tendon).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LWX37Z (percutaneous), 0LWX47Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0LWXX7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0LWX00Z (drainage device), 0LWX0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0LWX0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0LWX0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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