About 2W6AXZZ

2W6AXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a traction procedure on the right upper arm using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, traction means exerting a pulling force on a body region in a distal direction.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other skin traction of limbs, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.46).

For a different body part, codes include 2W60XZZ (head), 2W61XZZ (face), 2W62XZZ (neck), 2W63XZZ (abdominal wall), 2W64XZZ (chest wall), 2W65XZZ (back) and 23 more.

With a different device, use 2W6AX0Z (traction apparatus).

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.
