About 0XP6X0Z

0XP6X0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right upper extremity using an external 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 removal of other therapeutic device, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0XP7X0Z (left upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XP600Z (open), 0XP630Z (percutaneous) and 0XP640Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0XP6X1Z (radioactive element), 0XP6X3Z (infusion device), 0XP6X7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0XP6XJZ (synthetic substitute), 0XP6XKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0XP6XYZ (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.
