About 0WQFXZZ

0WQFXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the abdominal wall using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other suture of abdominal wall and other repair of abdominal wall, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (54.63 and 54.72).

For a different body part, codes include 0WQ0XZZ (head), 0WQ2XZZ (face), 0WQ3XZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WQ4XZZ (upper jaw), 0WQ5XZZ (lower jaw), 0WQ6XZZ (neck) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WQF0ZZ (open), 0WQF3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0WQF4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 353 (Hernia Procedures Except Inguinal and Femoral with MCC), DRG 354 (Hernia Procedures Except Inguinal and Femoral with CC), DRG 355 (Hernia Procedures Except Inguinal and Femoral without CC/MCC), DRG 423 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 424 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 425 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Hernia Procedures except Inguinal and Femoral”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 8 more.

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