About 0BP170Z

0BP170Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the trachea using a via natural or artificial opening 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 removal of other therapeutic device from head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0BP070Z (tracheobronchial tree), 0BPK70Z (right lung), 0BPL70Z (left lung), 0BPQ70Z (pleura) and 0BPT70Z (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BP100Z (open), 0BP130Z (percutaneous), 0BP140Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BP180Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BP1X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0BP172Z (monitoring device), 0BP177Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0BP17CZ (extraluminal device), 0BP17DZ (intraluminal device), 0BP17FZ (tracheostomy device), 0BP17JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

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.
