About 001647A

001647A is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the cerebral ventricle using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: subgaleal space). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 001607A (open) and 001637A (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 00164JA (synthetic substitute) and 00164KA (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC), DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 026 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 027 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

It was added in FY2020, effective October 1, 2019.
