About 0HWPXYZ

0HWPXYZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the skin using an external approach with other device. 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

With a different device, use 0HWPX0Z (drainage device), 0HWPX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0HWPXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HWPXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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 FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
