About 9WB8XFZ

9WB8XFZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a manipulation procedure on the rib cage using an external approach with direct 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 9WB0XFZ (head), 9WB1XFZ (cervical), 9WB2XFZ (thoracic), 9WB3XFZ (lumbar), 9WB4XFZ (sacrum), 9WB5XFZ (pelvis) and 3 more.

With a different device, use 9WB8XBZ (non-manual), 9WB8XCZ (indirect visceral), 9WB8XDZ (extra-articular), 9WB8XGZ (long lever specific contact), 9WB8XHZ (short lever specific contact), 9WB8XJZ (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.
