About 02C00Z6

02C00Z6 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the coronary artery, one artery using an open approach (qualifier: bifurcation). In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to procedure on single vessel, procedure on vessel bifurcation and open chest coronary artery angioplasty, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.40, 00.44 and 36.03).

For a different body part, codes include 02C10Z6 (coronary artery, two arteries), 02C20Z6 (coronary artery, three arteries) and 02C30Z6 (coronary artery, four or more arteries).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02C03Z6 (percutaneous) and 02C04Z6 (percutaneous endoscopic).

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 was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
