About 0YPB0JZ

0YPB0JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left lower extremity using an open approach with synthetic substitute. 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 0YP90JZ (right lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YPB3JZ (percutaneous), 0YPB4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0YPBXJZ (external).

With a different device, use 0YPB00Z (drainage device), 0YPB01Z (radioactive element), 0YPB03Z (infusion device), 0YPB07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0YPB0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0YPB0YZ (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.
