About 0DP6XUZ

0DP6XUZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the stomach using an external approach with feeding 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 gastrostomy tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.51).

For a different body part, codes include 0DP0XUZ (upper intestinal tract), 0DP5XUZ (esophagus) and 0DPDXUZ (lower intestinal tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DP60UZ (open), 0DP63UZ (percutaneous), 0DP64UZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DP67UZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DP68UZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0DP6X0Z (drainage device), 0DP6X2Z (monitoring device), 0DP6X3Z (infusion device) and 0DP6XDZ (intraluminal device).

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.
