About 0KPX0MZ

0KPX0MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the upper muscle using an open approach with stimulator lead. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of skeletal muscle stimulator, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.93).

For a different body part, codes include 0KPY0MZ (lower muscle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0KPX3MZ (percutaneous), 0KPX4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0KPXXMZ (external).

With a different device, use 0KPX00Z (drainage device), 0KPX07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0KPX0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0KPX0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0KPX0YZ (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.
