About 9WB0XCZ

9WB0XCZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a manipulation procedure on the head using an external approach with indirect visceral (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, manipulation means manual procedure that involves a directed thrust to move a joint past the physiological range of motion, without exceeding the anatomical limit.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other physical therapy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.39).

For a different body part, codes include 9WB1XCZ (cervical), 9WB2XCZ (thoracic), 9WB3XCZ (lumbar), 9WB4XCZ (sacrum), 9WB5XCZ (pelvis), 9WB6XCZ (lower extremities) and 3 more.

With a different device, use 9WB0XBZ (non-manual), 9WB0XDZ (extra-articular), 9WB0XFZ (direct visceral), 9WB0XGZ (long lever specific contact), 9WB0XHZ (short lever specific contact), 9WB0XJZ (long and short lever specific contact) 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.
