About 2W32X3Z

2W32X3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a immobilization procedure on the neck using an external approach with brace. In ICD-10-PCS, immobilization means limiting or preventing motion of a body region.

In plain terms, this corresponds to application of neck support, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.52).

For a different body part, codes include 2W30X3Z (head), 2W31X3Z (face), 2W33X3Z (abdominal wall), 2W34X3Z (chest wall), 2W35X3Z (back), 2W36X3Z (right inguinal region) and 23 more.

With a different device, use 2W32X1Z (splint), 2W32X2Z (cast) and 2W32XYZ (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.
