About 0RWNX8Z
0RWNX8Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right wrist joint using an external approach with spacer. 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 0RW0X8Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW1X8Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW4X8Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW6X8Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0RWAX8Z (thoracolumbar vertebral joint), 0RWCX8Z (right temporomandibular joint) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RWN08Z (open), 0RWN38Z (percutaneous) and 0RWN48Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RWNX0Z (drainage device), 0RWNX3Z (infusion device), 0RWNX4Z (internal fixation device), 0RWNX5Z (external fixation device), 0RWNX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RWNXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
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.
