About 0WWR81Z

0WWR81Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the genitourinary tract using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 on urinary system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (59.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WWP81Z (gastrointestinal tract) and 0WWQ81Z (respiratory tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WWR01Z (open), 0WWR31Z (percutaneous), 0WWR41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WWR71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0WWRX1Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WWR83Z (infusion device) and 0WWR8YZ (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.
