About 0DPPX1Z

0DPPX1Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the rectum using an external approach with radioactive element. 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 device from digestive system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.59).

For a different body part, codes include 0DP5X1Z (esophagus).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DPP01Z (open), 0DPP31Z (percutaneous), 0DPP41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DPP71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DPP81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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.
