About 0WW440Z
0WW440Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the upper jaw using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.09).
For a different body part, codes include 0WW040Z (head), 0WW140Z (cranial cavity), 0WW240Z (face), 0WW540Z (lower jaw), 0WW640Z (neck), 0WW840Z (chest wall) and 12 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WW400Z (open), 0WW430Z (percutaneous) and 0WW4X0Z (external).
With a different device, use 0WW441Z (radioactive element), 0WW443Z (infusion device), 0WW447Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WW44JZ (synthetic substitute), 0WW44KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0WW44YZ (other device).
It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of 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) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
