About 0WCJ4ZZ

0WCJ4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the pelvic cavity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WCJ0ZZ (open), 0WCJ3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0WCJXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), 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.
