About 002UXYZ

002UXYZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a change procedure on the spinal canal using an external approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, change means taking out or off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative replacements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0020XYZ (brain) and 002EXYZ (cranial nerve).

With a different device, use 002UX0Z (drainage device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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