About 00PE0MZ

00PE0MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cranial nerve using an open approach with neurostimulator lead. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of peripheral neurostimulator lead(s), the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.93).

For a different body part, codes include 00P00MZ (brain), 00P60MZ (cerebral ventricle), 00PU0MZ (spinal canal) and 00PV0MZ (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00PE3MZ (percutaneous), 00PE4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 00PEXMZ (external).

With a different device, use 00PE00Z (drainage device), 00PE02Z (monitoring device), 00PE03Z (infusion device), 00PE07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 00PE0YZ (other device).

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), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures” and 5 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
