About 02HA3RS
02HA3RS is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the heart using a percutaneous approach with short-term external heart assist system (qualifier: biventricular). 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 implantation or insertion of biventricular external heart assist system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.60).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02HA0RS (open) and 02HA4RS (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 215 (Other Heart Assist System Implant), DRG 001 (Heart Transplant or Implant of Heart Assist System with MCC) and DRG 002 (Heart Transplant or Implant of Heart Assist System without MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Heart Assist System Implant” and “Heart Transplant or Implant of Heart Assist System”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
