About 0WHB43Z

0WHB43Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left pleural cavity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0WH043Z (head), 0WH143Z (cranial cavity), 0WH243Z (face), 0WH343Z (oral cavity and throat), 0WH443Z (upper jaw), 0WH543Z (lower jaw) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WHB03Z (open) and 0WHB33Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0WHB41Z (radioactive element) and 0WHB4YZ (other device).

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

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