About 0WWQ03Z

0WWQ03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the respiratory tract using an open approach with infusion 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 other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0WW003Z (head), 0WW103Z (cranial cavity), 0WW203Z (face), 0WW403Z (upper jaw), 0WW503Z (lower jaw), 0WW603Z (neck) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WWQ33Z (percutaneous), 0WWQ43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WWQ73Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0WWQ83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0WWQX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WWQ01Z (radioactive element) and 0WWQ0YZ (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.
