About 00P64YZ
00P64YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cerebral ventricle using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 00P04YZ (brain), 00PE4YZ (cranial nerve), 00PU4YZ (spinal canal) and 00PV4YZ (spinal cord).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00P60YZ (open) and 00P63YZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 00P640Z (drainage device), 00P642Z (monitoring device), 00P643Z (infusion device), 00P64JZ (synthetic substitute) and 00P64MZ (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.
