About 0WF3XZZ
0WF3XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the oral cavity and throat using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.
In plain terms, this corresponds to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.59).
For a different body part, codes include 0WF1XZZ (cranial cavity), 0WF9XZZ (right pleural cavity), 0WFBXZZ (left pleural cavity), 0WFCXZZ (mediastinum), 0WFDXZZ (pericardial cavity), 0WFGXZZ (peritoneal cavity) and 4 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WF30ZZ (open), 0WF33ZZ (percutaneous) and 0WF34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
