About 0KPY0YZ

0KPY0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the lower muscle using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to myotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.02).

For a different body part, codes include 0KPX0YZ (upper muscle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KPY3YZ (percutaneous) and 0KPY4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0KPY00Z (drainage device), 0KPY07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0KPY0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0KPY0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0KPY0MZ (stimulator lead).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
