About 00UT37Z

00UT37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the spinal meninges using a percutaneous approach with autologous 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 other repair and plastic operations on spinal cord structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.59).

For a different body part, codes include 00U137Z (cerebral meninges), 00U237Z (dura mater), 00U637Z (cerebral ventricle), 00UF37Z (olfactory nerve), 00UG37Z (optic nerve), 00UH37Z (oculomotor nerve) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00UT07Z (open) and 00UT47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00UT3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 00UT3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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 518 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with MCC or Disc Device or Neurostimulator), DRG 519 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion with CC) and DRG 520 (Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Spinal Procedures”, “Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator”, “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.
