About 00HV03Z
00HV03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the spinal cord using an open approach with infusion device. 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 insertion of catheter into spinal canal for infusion of therapeutic or palliative substances, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.90).
For a different body part, codes include 00H003Z (brain), 00H603Z (cerebral ventricle), 00HE03Z (cranial nerve) and 00HU03Z (spinal canal).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 00HV33Z (percutaneous) and 00HV43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 00HV01Z (radioactive element), 00HV02Z (monitoring device), 00HV0MZ (neurostimulator lead) and 00HV0YZ (other device).
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.
