About 0XP640Z
0XP640Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right upper extremity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage 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 0XP740Z (left upper extremity).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XP600Z (open), 0XP630Z (percutaneous) and 0XP6X0Z (external).
With a different device, use 0XP641Z (radioactive element), 0XP643Z (infusion device), 0XP647Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0XP64JZ (synthetic substitute), 0XP64KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0XP64YZ (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.
