About 9WB1XGZ

9WB1XGZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a manipulation procedure on the cervical using an external approach with long lever specific contact (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 9WB0XGZ (head), 9WB2XGZ (thoracic), 9WB3XGZ (lumbar), 9WB4XGZ (sacrum), 9WB5XGZ (pelvis), 9WB6XGZ (lower extremities) and 3 more.

With a different device, use 9WB1XBZ (non-manual), 9WB1XCZ (indirect visceral), 9WB1XDZ (extra-articular), 9WB1XFZ (direct visceral), 9WB1XHZ (short lever specific contact), 9WB1XJZ (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.
