About ICD-9-CM 01.26

01.26 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for insertion of catheter(s) into cranial cavity or tissue. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0WH103Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Cranial Cavity, Open Approach), 0WH133Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Cranial Cavity, Percutaneous Approach) and 0WH143Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Cranial Cavity, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
