02HA0RJInsertion of Short-term External Heart Assist System into Heart, Intraoperative, Open Approach

02HA0RJ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the heart using an open approach with short-term external heart assist system (qualifier: intraoperative). 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 insertion of percutaneous external heart assist device, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.68).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02HA3RJ (percutaneous) and 02HA4RJ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 212 (Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures), DRG 216 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), DRG 217 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with CC), DRG 218 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization without CC/MCC), DRG 219 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC) and DRG 220 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with CC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “” and “Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
