About 0WHR7YZ
0WHR7YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the genitourinary tract using a via natural or artificial opening 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 genitourinary instillation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.49).
For a different body part, codes include 0WHP7YZ (gastrointestinal tract) and 0WHQ7YZ (respiratory tract).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WHR0YZ (open), 0WHR3YZ (percutaneous), 0WHR4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WHR8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0WHR71Z (radioactive element) and 0WHR73Z (infusion 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.
