About 0WPHX3Z

0WPHX3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the retroperitoneum using an external approach with infusion 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 trunk, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.87).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP0X3Z (head), 0WP1X3Z (cranial cavity), 0WP2X3Z (face), 0WP4X3Z (upper jaw), 0WP5X3Z (lower jaw), 0WP6X3Z (neck) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPH03Z (open), 0WPH33Z (percutaneous) and 0WPH43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WPHX0Z (drainage device) and 0WPHX1Z (radioactive element).

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.
