About 0WP930Z

0WP930Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right pleural cavity using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of pleura, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP030Z (head), 0WP130Z (cranial cavity), 0WP230Z (face), 0WP430Z (upper jaw), 0WP530Z (lower jaw), 0WP630Z (neck) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WP900Z (open), 0WP940Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WP9X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WP931Z (radioactive element), 0WP933Z (infusion device), 0WP93JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0WP93YZ (other device).

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.
