About 0WWP71Z

0WWP71Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the gastrointestinal tract using a via natural or artificial opening approach with radioactive element. 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 operations of abdominal region, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WWQ71Z (respiratory tract) and 0WWR71Z (genitourinary tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WWP01Z (open), 0WWP31Z (percutaneous), 0WWP41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WWP81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0WWPX1Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WWP73Z (infusion device) and 0WWP7YZ (other device).

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

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
