About 0WHQ3YZ

0WHQ3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the respiratory tract using a percutaneous approach with other 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 operations on thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WH03YZ (head), 0WH13YZ (cranial cavity), 0WH23YZ (face), 0WH33YZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WH43YZ (upper jaw), 0WH53YZ (lower jaw) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WHQ0YZ (open), 0WHQ4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WHQ7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0WHQ8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WHQ31Z (radioactive element) and 0WHQ33Z (infusion device).

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.
