00HE0YZInsertion of Other Device into Cranial Nerve, Open Approach

00HE0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the cranial nerve using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of cranial and peripheral nerves, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.04).

For a different body part, codes include 00H00YZ (brain), 00H60YZ (cerebral ventricle), 00HU0YZ (spinal canal) and 00HV0YZ (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00HE3YZ (percutaneous) and 00HE4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00HE01Z (radioactive element), 00HE02Z (monitoring device), 00HE03Z (infusion device) and 00HE0MZ (neurostimulator lead).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator) and DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
