About 0WHN41Z

0WHN41Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the perineum, female using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with radioactive element. 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 implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0WH041Z (head), 0WH141Z (cranial cavity), 0WH241Z (face), 0WH341Z (oral cavity and throat), 0WH441Z (upper jaw), 0WH541Z (lower jaw) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WHN01Z (open) and 0WHN31Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0WHN43Z (infusion device) and 0WHN4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 744 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption with CC/MCC), DRG 745 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption 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 “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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