ICD-10-PCS Code For Dura Mater: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 00P2 includes procedures performed to remove monitoring devices in the dura mater. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a monitoring device placed on or in the dura mater is taken out.

Dura Mater Removal Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes removal of monitoring devices from the dura mater and targets the central nervous system and cranial nerves. These procedures involve taking out devices that were previously placed on or within the dura mater for intracranial monitoring. Accurate coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the operative action on the central nervous system and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 45-year-old patient admitted to the neurosurgical service following severe traumatic brain injury who previously had a subdural intracranial pressure monitoring device placed on the dura mater during the acute resuscitation. After stabilization and completion of intracranial pressure monitoring, the neurosurgeon performs an open procedure to remove the synthetic dural substitute portion of the monitoring device that was used to secure the monitor to the dura. The removal is performed in the operating room under anesthesia as an inpatient procedure. Typical codes: 00P20JZ
An elderly patient admitted with worsening neurologic status after craniotomy who develops a localized wound dehiscence with exposure and infection at the site where an autologous dural patch and attached monitoring lead were placed. Because of infected exposed material and concern for intracranial contamination, the team performs an open removal of the autologous dural tissue substitute and associated monitoring components from the dura mater. Typical codes: 00P207Z
A pediatric patient with refractory seizures who previously had a dural-based investigational monitoring array secured with a nonautologous tissue substitute. During an inpatient evaluation, the monitoring period is terminated early because of device malfunction and migration; the neurosurgeon performs an open procedure to remove the nonautologous dural substitute and the monitoring array to prevent further neurologic injury. Typical codes: 00P20KZ
