About 0WP13JZ

0WP13JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cranial cavity using a percutaneous approach with synthetic substitute. 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 0WP03JZ (head), 0WP23JZ (face), 0WP43JZ (upper jaw), 0WP53JZ (lower jaw), 0WP63JZ (neck), 0WP83JZ (chest wall) and 10 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WP10JZ (open) and 0WP14JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WP130Z (drainage device), 0WP131Z (radioactive element), 0WP133Z (infusion device) and 0WP13YZ (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.
