About 01PY0MZ

01PY0MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the peripheral nerve using an open approach with neurostimulator lead. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of peripheral neurostimulator lead(s), the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.93).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 01PY3MZ (percutaneous), 01PY4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 01PYXMZ (external).

With a different device, use 01PY00Z (drainage device), 01PY02Z (monitoring device), 01PY07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 01PY0YZ (other device).

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 Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures” and 5 more.

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