About 0WP100Z

0WP100Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cranial cavity using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other craniotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (01.24).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP000Z (head), 0WP200Z (face), 0WP400Z (upper jaw), 0WP500Z (lower jaw), 0WP600Z (neck), 0WP800Z (chest wall) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WP130Z (percutaneous), 0WP140Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WP1X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WP101Z (radioactive element), 0WP103Z (infusion device), 0WP10JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0WP10YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC), DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 026 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with CC) and DRG 027 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis” and “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures”.

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