About 0RWD44Z

0RWD44Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left temporomandibular joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with internal fixation device. 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 facial bone, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (76.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0RW044Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW144Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW444Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW644Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RWA44Z (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), 0RWC44Z (right temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RWD04Z (open), 0RWD34Z (percutaneous) and 0RWDX4Z (external).

With a different device, use 0RWD40Z (drainage device), 0RWD43Z (infusion device), 0RWD47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RWD48Z (spacer), 0RWD4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0RWD4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

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