About 0WCR0ZZ

0WCR0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the genitourinary tract using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other laparotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0WC10ZZ (cranial cavity), 0WC30ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WC40ZZ (upper jaw), 0WC50ZZ (lower jaw), 0WC90ZZ (right pleural cavity), 0WCB0ZZ (left pleural cavity) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WCR3ZZ (percutaneous), 0WCR4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WCR7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0WCR8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0WCRXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 420 (Hepatobiliary Diagnostic Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Hepatobiliary Diagnostic Procedures” and 4 more.

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