About 0PW33KZ

0PW33KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the cervical vertebra using a percutaneous 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 incision of bone without division, other bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0PW03KZ (sternum), 0PW13KZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PW23KZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PW43KZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PW53KZ (right scapula), 0PW63KZ (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PW30KZ (open), 0PW34KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0PW3XKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0PW334Z (internal fixation device), 0PW337Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0PW33JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC) and DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”.

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