About 0W060KZ

0W060KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a alteration procedure on the neck using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, alteration means modifying the anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to facial rhytidectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.82).

For a different body part, codes include 0W000KZ (head), 0W020KZ (face), 0W040KZ (upper jaw), 0W050KZ (lower jaw), 0W080KZ (chest wall), 0W0F0KZ (abdominal wall) and 4 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0W063KZ (percutaneous) and 0W064KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0W0607Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0W060JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0W060ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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