About 0DPDX0Z

0DPDX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the lower intestinal tract using an external 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 tube from large intestine or appendix, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.53).

For a different body part, codes include 0DP0X0Z (upper intestinal tract) and 0DP6X0Z (stomach).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DPD00Z (open), 0DPD30Z (percutaneous), 0DPD40Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DPD70Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DPD80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0DPDX2Z (monitoring device), 0DPDX3Z (infusion device), 0DPDXDZ (intraluminal device) and 0DPDXUZ (feeding 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.
