0KHX3MZInsertion of Stimulator Lead into Upper Muscle, Percutaneous Approach

0KHX3MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the upper muscle using a percutaneous approach with stimulator 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 insertion or replacement of skeletal muscle stimulator, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0KHY3MZ (lower muscle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KHX0MZ (open) and 0KHX4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0KHX3YZ (other 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 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
