About 0WPD30Z

0WPD30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the pericardial cavity using a percutaneous 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 Pericardiotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP030Z (head), 0WP130Z (cranial cavity), 0WP230Z (face), 0WP430Z (upper jaw), 0WP530Z (lower jaw), 0WP630Z (neck) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPD00Z (open), 0WPD40Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WPDX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WPD31Z (radioactive element), 0WPD33Z (infusion device) and 0WPD3YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R.
