About 0BP17FZ

0BP17FZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the trachea using a via natural or artificial opening approach with tracheostomy 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 tracheostomy tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.37).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BP10FZ (open), 0BP13FZ (percutaneous), 0BP14FZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0BP18FZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0BP1XFZ (external).

With a different device, use 0BP170Z (drainage device), 0BP172Z (monitoring device), 0BP177Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0BP17CZ (extraluminal device), 0BP17DZ (intraluminal 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.
