021008CBypass Coronary Artery, One Artery from Thoracic Artery with Zooplastic Tissue, Open Approach

021008C is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the coronary artery, one artery using an open approach with zooplastic tissue (qualifier: thoracic artery). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (36.15).

For a different body part, codes include 021108C (coronary artery, two arteries), 021208C (coronary artery, three arteries) and 021308C (coronary artery, four or more arteries).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 021048C (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 021009C (autologous venous tissue), 02100AC (autologous arterial tissue), 02100JC (synthetic substitute), 02100KC (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 02100ZC (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 212 (Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures), DRG 231 (Coronary Bypass with PTCA with MCC), DRG 232 (Coronary Bypass with PTCA without MCC), DRG 233 (Coronary Bypass with Cardiac Catheterization or Open Ablation with MCC), DRG 234 (Coronary Bypass with Cardiac Catheterization or Open Ablation without MCC) and DRG 235 (Coronary Bypass without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “” and “Coronary Bypass without Cardiac Catheterization”.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
