About 00PV37Z

00PV37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the spinal cord using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. 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 00P037Z (brain) and 00PE37Z (cranial nerve).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00PV07Z (open) and 00PV47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00PV30Z (drainage device), 00PV32Z (monitoring device), 00PV33Z (infusion device), 00PV3JZ (synthetic substitute), 00PV3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute), 00PV3MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 028 (Spinal Procedures with MCC), DRG 029 (Spinal Procedures with CC or Spinal Neurostimulators), DRG 030 (Spinal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 423 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 424 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 425 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

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