About 0272046
0272046 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the coronary artery, three arteries using an open 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 three vessels, procedure on vessel bifurcation, insertion of one vascular stent and 2 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.42, 00.44, 00.45 and 2 more).
For a different body part, codes include 0270046 (coronary artery, one artery), 0271046 (coronary artery, two arteries) and 0273046 (coronary artery, four or more arteries).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0272346 (percutaneous) and 0272446 (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0272056 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, two), 0272066 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, three), 0272076 (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, four or more), 02720D6 (intraluminal device), 02720E6 (intraluminal device, two), 02720F6 (intraluminal device, three) and 3 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 228 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures with MCC) and DRG 229 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures without MCC), under the surgical category “Other Cardiothoracic Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
