About 001U072
001U072 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the spinal canal using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: atrium). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
For a different body part, codes include 0016072 (cerebral ventricle).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 001U372 (percutaneous) and 001U472 (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 001U0J2 (synthetic substitute) and 001U0K2 (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal 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 “Spinal Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures”.
It was added in FY2019, effective October 1, 2018.
