About 00PE33Z

00PE33Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cranial nerve using a percutaneous approach with infusion 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 cranial and peripheral nerves, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.04).

For a different body part, codes include 00P033Z (brain), 00P633Z (cerebral ventricle), 00PU33Z (spinal canal) and 00PV33Z (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00PE03Z (open), 00PE43Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 00PEX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 00PE30Z (drainage device), 00PE32Z (monitoring device), 00PE37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 00PE3MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 00PE3YZ (other device).

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

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