About 0WPR03Z

0WPR03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the genitourinary tract using an open 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 other operations on urinary system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (59.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP003Z (head), 0WP103Z (cranial cavity), 0WP203Z (face), 0WP403Z (upper jaw), 0WP503Z (lower jaw), 0WP603Z (neck) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPR33Z (percutaneous), 0WPR43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WPR73Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0WPR83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0WPRX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WPR01Z (radioactive element) and 0WPR0YZ (other 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.
