About 0RWUXKZ
0RWUXKZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right metacarpophalangeal joint using an external 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0RW0XKZ (occipital-cervical joint), 0RW1XKZ (cervical vertebral joint), 0RW3XKZ (cervical vertebral disc), 0RW4XKZ (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0RW5XKZ (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0RW6XKZ (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RWU0KZ (open), 0RWU3KZ (percutaneous) and 0RWU4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0RWUX0Z (drainage device), 0RWUX3Z (infusion device), 0RWUX4Z (internal fixation device), 0RWUX5Z (external fixation device), 0RWUX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RWUX8Z (spacer) 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.
