ICD-10-PCS 0W0 Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, General Alteration
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Alteration (code starting with 0W0) involves modifying the anatomical structure of a body part without cutting it out or replacing it. This is often done to improve function or appearance.
Within the Medical and Surgical section, the Alteration operation applies to various body parts such as the Head, Face, Upper and Lower Jaw, Neck, Chest Wall, Abdominal Wall, Upper and Lower Back, and Male and Female Perineum. Procedures can be performed by different approaches including Open, Percutaneous, and Percutaneous Endoscopic. Furthermore, the procedure may involve the use of tissue substitutes—such as Autologous Tissue Substitute (patient’s own tissue), Synthetic Substitute, or Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (donor tissue)—to assist with the alteration. For example, Alteration of Head with Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach is coded as 0W000JZ, while Alteration of Face, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach is 0W024ZZ. These specific ICD-10-PCS alteration codes enable precise documentation of procedures aiming at structural modification without excision or replacement.
