About 0WP8XYZ

0WP8XYZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the chest wall using an external approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.49).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP0XYZ (head), 0WP2XYZ (face), 0WP4XYZ (upper jaw), 0WP5XYZ (lower jaw), 0WP6XYZ (neck), 0WPCXYZ (mediastinum) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WP80YZ (open), 0WP83YZ (percutaneous) and 0WP84YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WP8X0Z (drainage device), 0WP8X1Z (radioactive element), 0WP8X3Z (infusion device), 0WP8X7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WP8XJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0WP8XKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
