About 00HV42Z

00HV42Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the spinal cord using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with monitoring 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 operations on spinal cord and spinal canal structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.99).

For a different body part, codes include 00H042Z (brain), 00H642Z (cerebral ventricle), 00HE42Z (cranial nerve) and 00HU42Z (spinal canal).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00HV02Z (open) and 00HV32Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 00HV41Z (radioactive element), 00HV43Z (infusion device), 00HV4MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 00HV4YZ (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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
