About 0XP603Z

0XP603Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right upper extremity using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision with removal of foreign body or device from skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.05).

For a different body part, codes include 0XP703Z (left upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XP633Z (percutaneous), 0XP643Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0XP6X3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0XP600Z (drainage device), 0XP601Z (radioactive element), 0XP607Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0XP60JZ (synthetic substitute), 0XP60KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0XP60YZ (other device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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