About 00P63YZ

00P63YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cerebral ventricle using a percutaneous approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of brain, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (01.39).

For a different body part, codes include 00P03YZ (brain), 00PE3YZ (cranial nerve), 00PU3YZ (spinal canal) and 00PV3YZ (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00P60YZ (open) and 00P64YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00P630Z (drainage device), 00P632Z (monitoring device), 00P633Z (infusion device), 00P63JZ (synthetic substitute) and 00P63MZ (neurostimulator lead).

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

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