0PPT0JZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Removal of Synthetic Substitute from Right Finger Phalanx, Open Approach
Removal of Synth Sub from R Finger Phalanx, Open Approach
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body SystemP | Upper Bones |
| 3 | Root OperationP | Removal Taking out or off a device from a body part |
| 4 | Body PartT | Finger Phalanx, Right |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | DeviceJ | Synthetic Substitute |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 6 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 08 — Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur: DRG 495, DRG 496, DRG 497
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
