About 0WQN0ZZ
0WQN0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the perineum, female using an open 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 repair of vulva and perineum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (71.79).
For a different body part, codes include 0WQ00ZZ (head), 0WQ20ZZ (face), 0WQ30ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WQ40ZZ (upper jaw), 0WQ50ZZ (lower jaw), 0WQ60ZZ (neck) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WQN3ZZ (percutaneous), 0WQN4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WQNXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
