About 0BW17KZ

0BW17KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the trachea using a via natural or artificial opening approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of larynx or trachea, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (31.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0BW07KZ (tracheobronchial tree) and 0BWT7KZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BW10KZ (open), 0BW13KZ (percutaneous), 0BW14KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BW18KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BW1XKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0BW170Z (drainage device), 0BW172Z (monitoring device), 0BW177Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0BW17CZ (extraluminal device), 0BW17DZ (intraluminal device), 0BW17FZ (tracheostomy device) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
