About 2W31X9Z
2W31X9Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a immobilization procedure on the face using an external approach with wire. In ICD-10-PCS, immobilization means limiting or preventing motion of a body region.
In plain terms, this corresponds to application of orthodontic appliance and dental wiring, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (24.7 and 93.55).
With a different device, use 2W31X1Z (splint), 2W31X2Z (cast), 2W31X3Z (brace) and 2W31XYZ (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.
