About 00PU32Z

00PU32Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the spinal canal using a percutaneous approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from 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 00P032Z (brain), 00P632Z (cerebral ventricle), 00PE32Z (cranial nerve) and 00PV32Z (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00PU02Z (open), 00PU42Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 00PUX2Z (external).

With a different device, use 00PU30Z (drainage device), 00PU33Z (infusion device), 00PU3JZ (synthetic substitute), 00PU3MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 00PU3YZ (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.
