05H04MZInsertion of Neurostimulator Lead into Azygos Vein, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach

05H04MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the azygos vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with neurostimulator lead. 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 replacement of peripheral neurostimulator lead(s), the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (04.92).

For a different body part, codes include 05H34MZ (right innominate vein) and 05H44MZ (left innominate vein).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05H00MZ (open) and 05H03MZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 05H042Z (monitoring device), 05H043Z (infusion device) and 05H04DZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 7 more.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
