About XWHD7Q7
XWHD7Q7 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the mouth and pharynx using a via natural or artificial opening approach with neurostimulator lead (qualifier: new technology group 7). In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2022, effective October 1, 2021.
