About 00HV01Z

00HV01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the spinal cord using an open approach with radioactive element. 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.

For a different body part, codes include 00H001Z (brain), 00H601Z (cerebral ventricle), 00HE01Z (cranial nerve) and 00HU01Z (spinal canal).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00HV31Z (percutaneous) and 00HV41Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00HV02Z (monitoring device), 00HV03Z (infusion device), 00HV0MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 00HV0YZ (other device).

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 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 519 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with CC) and DRG 520 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
