00HV0MZ

Insertion of Neuro Lead into Spinal Cord, Open Approach

V44.0 O.R. procedure Procedure cluster member

An operating room procedure. An O.R. procedure drives DRG assignment on its own, so it can change the MDC and MS-DRG regardless of the principal diagnosis. It is also part of a procedure cluster, meaning certain combinations group differently than this code does alone.
