About 0WPJX1Z

0WPJX1Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the pelvic cavity using an external approach with radioactive element. 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 0WP0X1Z (head), 0WP1X1Z (cranial cavity), 0WP2X1Z (face), 0WP4X1Z (upper jaw), 0WP5X1Z (lower jaw), 0WP6X1Z (neck) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPJ01Z (open), 0WPJ31Z (percutaneous) and 0WPJ41Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WPJX0Z (drainage device) and 0WPJX3Z (infusion 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.
