About 0WWCXGZ

0WWCXGZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the mediastinum using an external approach with defibrillator lead. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WWC0GZ (open), 0WWC3GZ (percutaneous) and 0WWC4GZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WWCX0Z (drainage device), 0WWCX1Z (radioactive element), 0WWCX3Z (infusion device), 0WWCX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WWCXJZ (synthetic substitute), 0WWCXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 1 more.

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2024, effective October 1, 2023.
