About 00PV30Z

00PV30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the spinal cord using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other chordotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.29).

For a different body part, codes include 00P030Z (brain), 00P630Z (cerebral ventricle), 00PE30Z (cranial nerve) and 00PU30Z (spinal canal).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00PV00Z (open), 00PV40Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 00PVX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 00PV32Z (monitoring device), 00PV33Z (infusion device), 00PV37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 00PV3JZ (synthetic substitute), 00PV3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute), 00PV3MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 1 more.

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.
