About 0WW60KZ

0WW60KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the neck using an open approach with nonautologous tissue 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 0WW00KZ (head), 0WW20KZ (face), 0WW40KZ (upper jaw), 0WW50KZ (lower jaw), 0WW80KZ (chest wall), 0WWC0KZ (mediastinum) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WW63KZ (percutaneous), 0WW64KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WW6XKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0WW600Z (drainage device), 0WW601Z (radioactive element), 0WW603Z (infusion device), 0WW607Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WW60JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0WW60YZ (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.
