About 8C01X6J

8C01X6J is the ICD-10-PCS code for a other procedures procedure on the nervous system using an external approach with collection (qualifier: cerebrospinal fluid). In ICD-10-PCS, other procedures means methodologies which attempt to remediate or cure a disorder or disease.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Ventriculopuncture through previously implanted catheter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (01.02).

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.
