About 0WBFXZ2

0WBFXZ2 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the abdominal wall using an external approach (qualifier: stoma). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of abdominal wall or umbilicus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0WB6XZ2 (neck).

Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 3 more.

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