About 0WPMXJZ

0WPMXJZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the perineum, male using an external approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on male genital organs, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0WP0XJZ (head), 0WP2XJZ (face), 0WP4XJZ (upper jaw), 0WP5XJZ (lower jaw), 0WP6XJZ (neck), 0WP8XJZ (chest wall) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPM0JZ (open), 0WPM3JZ (percutaneous) and 0WPM4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WPMX0Z (drainage device), 0WPMX1Z (radioactive element), 0WPMX3Z (infusion device), 0WPMX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0WPMXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0WPMXYZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Penis Procedures”.

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