About 2W56XYZ

2W56XYZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right inguinal region using an external approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from trunk, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.87).

For a different body part, codes include 2W50XYZ (head), 2W51XYZ (face), 2W52XYZ (neck), 2W53XYZ (abdominal wall), 2W54XYZ (chest wall), 2W55XYZ (back) and 23 more.

With a different device, use 2W56X0Z (traction apparatus), 2W56X1Z (splint), 2W56X2Z (cast), 2W56X3Z (brace), 2W56X4Z (bandage), 2W56X5Z (packing material) 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.
