About 01PY0YZ

01PY0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the peripheral nerve using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of cranial and peripheral nerves, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.04).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 01PY3YZ (percutaneous) and 01PY4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 01PY00Z (drainage device), 01PY02Z (monitoring device), 01PY07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 01PY0MZ (neurostimulator lead).

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) and DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
