About 0WC53ZZ

0WC53ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the lower jaw using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 0WC13ZZ (cranial cavity), 0WC33ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WC43ZZ (upper jaw), 0WC93ZZ (right pleural cavity), 0WCB3ZZ (left pleural cavity), 0WCC3ZZ (mediastinum) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WC50ZZ (open) and 0WC54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2020, effective October 1, 2019.
