About 02H73MZ

02H73MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left atrium using a percutaneous approach with cardiac lead. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to replacement of transvenous atrial and/or ventricular lead(s) [electrode], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.76).

For a different body part, codes include 02H43MZ (coronary vein), 02H63MZ (right atrium), 02HK3MZ (right ventricle), 02HL3MZ (left ventricle), 02HM3MZ (ventricular septum) and 02HN3MZ (pericardium).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02H70MZ (open) and 02H74MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02H730Z (monitoring device, pressure sensor), 02H732Z (monitoring device), 02H733Z (infusion device), 02H73DZ (intraluminal device), 02H73JZ (cardiac lead, pacemaker), 02H73KZ (cardiac lead, defibrillator) and 2 more.

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 210 (Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement with MCC) and DRG 211 (Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement without MCC), under the surgical category “Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement”.

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