About 0XP741Z

0XP741Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left upper extremity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with radioactive element. 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 0XP641Z (right upper extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XP701Z (open), 0XP731Z (percutaneous) and 0XP7X1Z (external).

With a different device, use 0XP740Z (drainage device), 0XP743Z (infusion device), 0XP747Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0XP74JZ (synthetic substitute), 0XP74KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0XP74YZ (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.
