About 0WP837Z

0WP837Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the chest wall using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of chest wall, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP037Z (head), 0WP237Z (face), 0WP437Z (upper jaw), 0WP537Z (lower jaw), 0WP637Z (neck), 0WPC37Z (mediastinum) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WP807Z (open), 0WP847Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WP8X7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WP830Z (drainage device), 0WP831Z (radioactive element), 0WP833Z (infusion device), 0WP83JZ (synthetic substitute), 0WP83KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0WP83YZ (other 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.
