About 00W03YZ

00W03YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the brain using a percutaneous approach with other device. 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 00W63YZ (cerebral ventricle), 00WE3YZ (cranial nerve), 00WU3YZ (spinal canal) and 00WV3YZ (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00W00YZ (open) and 00W04YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00W030Z (drainage device), 00W032Z (monitoring device), 00W033Z (infusion device), 00W037Z (autologous tissue substitute), 00W03JZ (synthetic substitute), 00W03KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) 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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
