About 0WCR7ZZ

0WCR7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the genitourinary tract using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on urinary system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (59.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WCP7ZZ (gastrointestinal tract) and 0WCQ7ZZ (respiratory tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WCR0ZZ (open), 0WCR3ZZ (percutaneous), 0WCR4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0WCR8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0WCRXZZ (external).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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