Code Navigator:

01PY4MZ is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of removal of neurostimulator lead from peripheral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach. The code is valid for the year 2025 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The procedure code involves taking out or off a device from a body part. Procedure code explanation: if a device is taken out and a similar device put in without cutting or puncturing the skin or mucous membrane, the procedure is coded to the root operation change. otherwise, the procedure for taking out a device is coded to the root operation removal drainage tube removal, cardiac pacemaker removal

What is ICD-10-PCS?

The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. The 2025 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.

Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals. The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
