About 0LPX4YZ
0LPX4YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the upper tendon using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 other tenotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.13).
For a different body part, codes include 0LPY4YZ (lower tendon).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LPX0YZ (open) and 0LPX3YZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0LPX40Z (drainage device), 0LPX47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0LPX4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0LPX4KZ (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.
