About 0YHG41Z
0YHG41Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left knee region using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).
For a different body part, codes include 0YH041Z (right buttock), 0YH141Z (left buttock), 0YH541Z (right inguinal region), 0YH641Z (left inguinal region), 0YH741Z (right femoral region), 0YH841Z (left femoral region) and 11 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0YHG01Z (open) and 0YHG31Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0YHG43Z (infusion device) and 0YHG4YZ (other device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
