About 0PP147Z

0PP147Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the ribs, 1 to 2 using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of implanted devices from bone, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (78.61).

For a different body part, codes include 0PP047Z (sternum), 0PP247Z (ribs, 3 or more), 0PP347Z (cervical vertebra), 0PP447Z (thoracic vertebra), 0PP547Z (right scapula), 0PP647Z (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PP107Z (open) and 0PP137Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0PP144Z (internal fixation device), 0PP14JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0PP14KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC), DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
