About 00WUXMZ

00WUXMZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the spinal canal using an external 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 00W0XMZ (brain), 00W6XMZ (cerebral ventricle), 00WEXMZ (cranial nerve) and 00WVXMZ (spinal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00WU0MZ (open), 00WU3MZ (percutaneous) and 00WU4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 00WUX0Z (drainage device), 00WUX2Z (monitoring device), 00WUX3Z (infusion device) and 00WUXJZ (synthetic substitute).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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