About 0WPF40Z

0WPF40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the abdominal wall using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 incision of abdominal wall, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP040Z (head), 0WP140Z (cranial cavity), 0WP240Z (face), 0WP440Z (upper jaw), 0WP540Z (lower jaw), 0WP640Z (neck) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPF00Z (open), 0WPF30Z (percutaneous) and 0WPFX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WPF41Z (radioactive element), 0WPF43Z (infusion device), 0WPF47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WPF4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0WPF4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0WPF4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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