About 01PYX0Z

01PYX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the peripheral nerve using an external approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other therapeutic device from head and neck, removal of other device from thorax and removal of other therapeutic device, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (97.39, 97.49 and 97.89).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 01PY00Z (open), 01PY30Z (percutaneous) and 01PY40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 01PYX2Z (monitoring device) and 01PYXMZ (neurostimulator lead).

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.
