About 2W0EX0Z

2W0EX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a change procedure on the right hand using an external approach with traction apparatus. In ICD-10-PCS, change means taking out or off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative replacements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.29).

For a different body part, codes include 2W00X0Z (head), 2W01X0Z (face), 2W02X0Z (neck), 2W03X0Z (abdominal wall), 2W04X0Z (chest wall), 2W05X0Z (back) and 23 more.

With a different device, use 2W0EX1Z (splint), 2W0EX2Z (cast), 2W0EX3Z (brace), 2W0EX4Z (bandage), 2W0EX5Z (packing material), 2W0EX6Z (pressure dressing) and 2 more.

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.
