About 0PPP07Z

0PPP07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right metacarpal using an open 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, carpals and metacarpals, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (78.64).

For a different body part, codes include 0PP007Z (sternum), 0PP107Z (ribs, 1 to 2), 0PP207Z (ribs, 3 or more), 0PP307Z (cervical vertebra), 0PP407Z (thoracic vertebra), 0PP507Z (right scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PPP37Z (percutaneous) and 0PPP47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0PPP04Z (internal fixation device), 0PPP05Z (external fixation device), 0PPP0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0PPP0KZ (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 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”, “Hand 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.
