About 0W0F0ZZ

0W0F0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a alteration procedure on the abdominal wall using an open approach. 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 other repair and reconstruction of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0W000ZZ (head), 0W020ZZ (face), 0W040ZZ (upper jaw), 0W050ZZ (lower jaw), 0W060ZZ (neck), 0W080ZZ (chest wall) and 4 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0W0F3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0W0F4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0W0F07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0W0F0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0W0F0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 619 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity with MCC), DRG 620 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity with CC) and DRG 621 (O.R. Procedures for Obesity without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “O.R. Procedures for Obesity” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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