About 00W00MZ

00W00MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the brain using an open approach with neurostimulator lead. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of brain, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (01.39).

For a different body part, codes include 00W60MZ (cerebral ventricle), 00WE0MZ (cranial nerve), 00WU0MZ (spinal canal) and 00WV0MZ (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00W03MZ (percutaneous), 00W04MZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 00W0XMZ (external).

With a different device, use 00W000Z (drainage device), 00W002Z (monitoring device), 00W003Z (infusion device), 00W007Z (autologous tissue substitute), 00W00JZ (synthetic substitute), 00W00KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC), DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 026 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 027 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
