About 0270446

0270446 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the coronary artery, one artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with intraluminal device, drug-eluting (qualifier: bifurcation). In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to procedure on single vessel, procedure on vessel bifurcation, insertion of one vascular stent and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.40, 00.44, 00.45 and 2 more).

For a different body part, codes include 0271446 (coronary artery, two arteries), 0272446 (coronary artery, three arteries) and 0273446 (coronary artery, four or more arteries).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0270046 (open) and 0270346 (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0270456 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, two), 0270466 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, three), 0270476 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, four or more), 02704D6 (intraluminal device), 02704E6 (intraluminal device, two), 02704F6 (intraluminal device, three) and 3 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 231 (Coronary Bypass with PTCA with MCC), DRG 232 (Coronary Bypass with PTCA without MCC), DRG 321 (Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedures with Intraluminal Device with MCC or 4+ Arteries/Intraluminal Devices), DRG 322 (Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedures with Intraluminal Device without MCC), DRG 323 (Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy with Intraluminal Device with MCC) and DRG 324 (Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy with Intraluminal Device without MCC), under the surgical categories “”, “Percutaneous cardiovascular procedures with intraluminal device”, “Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy with Intraluminal Device” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
