About 0016375

0016375 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the cerebral ventricle using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: intestine). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to ventricular shunt to abdominal cavity and organs, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (02.34).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0016075 (open) and 0016475 (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00163J5 (synthetic substitute) and 00163K5 (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 031 (Ventricular Shunt Procedures with MCC), DRG 032 (Ventricular Shunt Procedures with CC), DRG 033 (Ventricular Shunt Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Ventricular Shunt Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
