About 0WWC3YZ
0WWC3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the mediastinum using a percutaneous approach with other 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 incision of mediastinum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.1).
For a different body part, codes include 0WW03YZ (head), 0WW13YZ (cranial cavity), 0WW23YZ (face), 0WW43YZ (upper jaw), 0WW53YZ (lower jaw), 0WW63YZ (neck) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WWC0YZ (open), 0WWC4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WWCXYZ (external).
With a different device, use 0WWC30Z (drainage device), 0WWC31Z (radioactive element), 0WWC33Z (infusion device), 0WWC37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WWC3GZ (defibrillator lead), 0WWC3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
