About 0WPN00Z

0WPN00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the perineum, female using an open 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 other incision of vulva and perineum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (71.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP000Z (head), 0WP100Z (cranial cavity), 0WP200Z (face), 0WP400Z (upper jaw), 0WP500Z (lower jaw), 0WP600Z (neck) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPN30Z (percutaneous), 0WPN40Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WPNX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WPN01Z (radioactive element), 0WPN03Z (infusion device), 0WPN07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WPN0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0WPN0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0WPN0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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