About 0YPB40Z

0YPB40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left lower 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 0YP940Z (right lower extremity).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YPB00Z (open), 0YPB30Z (percutaneous) and 0YPBX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0YPB41Z (radioactive element), 0YPB43Z (infusion device), 0YPB47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0YPB4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0YPB4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0YPB4YZ (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.
