About 0WW44JZ
0WW44JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the upper jaw using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. 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 0WW04JZ (head), 0WW14JZ (cranial cavity), 0WW24JZ (face), 0WW54JZ (lower jaw), 0WW64JZ (neck), 0WW84JZ (chest wall) and 10 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WW40JZ (open), 0WW43JZ (percutaneous) and 0WW4XJZ (external).
With a different device, use 0WW440Z (drainage device), 0WW441Z (radioactive element), 0WW443Z (infusion device), 0WW447Z (autologous tissue 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.
