About 0LPY3YZ

0LPY3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the lower tendon using a percutaneous 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 0LPX3YZ (upper tendon).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0LPY0YZ (open) and 0LPY4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0LPY30Z (drainage device), 0LPY37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0LPY3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0LPY3KZ (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.
