About 0PPF3KZ

0PPF3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right humeral shaft using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous 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, humerus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (78.62).

For a different body part, codes include 0PP03KZ (sternum), 0PP13KZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PP23KZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0PP33KZ (cervical vertebra), 0PP43KZ (thoracic vertebra), 0PP53KZ (right scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PPF0KZ (open) and 0PPF4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0PPF34Z (internal fixation device), 0PPF35Z (external fixation device), 0PPF37Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0PPF3JZ (synthetic 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”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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