About 0HPPXYZ

0HPPXYZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the skin using an external approach with other 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, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.89).

With a different device, use 0HPPX0Z (drainage device), 0HPPX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0HPPXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0HPPXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
