00HV0MZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Insertion of Neurostimulator Lead into Spinal Cord, Open Approach
Insertion of Neuro Lead into Spinal Cord, Open Approach
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body System0 | Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves |
| 3 | Root OperationH | Insertion 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 |
| 4 | Body PartV | Spinal Cord |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | DeviceM | Neurostimulator Lead |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 27 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Spinal Procedures: DRG 028, DRG 029, DRG 030
- MDC 08 — Back and Neck Procedures Except Spinal Fusion or Disc Device or Neurostimulator: DRG 518, DRG 519, DRG 520
- MDC 11 — Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures: DRG 673, DRG 674, DRG 675
- MDC 12 — Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 715, DRG 716, DRG 717, DRG 718
- MDC 13 — Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 749, DRG 750
- MDC 17 — Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures: DRG 820, DRG 821, DRG 822
- MDC 17 — Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures: DRG 826, DRG 827, DRG 828
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
- MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
