About 0RWTX5Z
0RWTX5Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left carpometacarpal joint using an external approach with external 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0RWLX5Z (right elbow joint), 0RWMX5Z (left elbow joint), 0RWNX5Z (right wrist joint), 0RWPX5Z (left wrist joint), 0RWQX5Z (right carpal joint), 0RWRX5Z (left carpal joint) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RWT05Z (open), 0RWT35Z (percutaneous) and 0RWT45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RWTX0Z (drainage device), 0RWTX3Z (infusion device), 0RWTX4Z (internal fixation device), 0RWTX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RWTX8Z (spacer), 0RWTXJZ (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.
