About 0WF93ZZ

0WF93ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the right pleural cavity using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WF13ZZ (cranial cavity), 0WF33ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WFB3ZZ (left pleural cavity), 0WFC3ZZ (mediastinum), 0WFD3ZZ (pericardial cavity), 0WFG3ZZ (peritoneal cavity) and 4 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WF90ZZ (open), 0WF94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WF9XZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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