About 0W3Q8ZZ

0W3Q8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a control procedure on the respiratory tract using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, control means stopping, or attempting to stop, postprocedural or other acute bleeding.

In plain terms, this corresponds to control of hemorrhage, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.98).

For a different body part, codes include 0W338ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0W3P8ZZ (gastrointestinal tract) and 0W3R8ZZ (genitourinary tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0W3Q0ZZ (open), 0W3Q3ZZ (percutaneous), 0W3Q4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0W3Q7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

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