About 0WBH4ZZ

0WBH4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the retroperitoneum using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. 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 peritoneal tissue and retroperitoneal dissection, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (54.4 and 59.00).

For a different body part, codes include 0WB04ZZ (head), 0WB24ZZ (face), 0WB34ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WB44ZZ (upper jaw), 0WB54ZZ (lower jaw), 0WB64ZZ (neck) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WBH0ZZ (open) and 0WBH3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R.
