About 00US0KZ

00US0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the hypoglossal nerve using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to cranial or peripheral nerve graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.5).

For a different body part, codes include 00U10KZ (cerebral meninges), 00U20KZ (dura mater), 00U60KZ (cerebral ventricle), 00UF0KZ (olfactory nerve), 00UG0KZ (optic nerve), 00UH0KZ (oculomotor nerve) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00US3KZ (percutaneous) and 00US4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00US07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 00US0JZ (synthetic substitute).

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 O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
