About 02HA3RZ
02HA3RZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the heart using a percutaneous approach with short-term external heart assist system. 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 temporary non-implantable extracorporeal circulatory assist device, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.62).
For a different body part, codes include 02HW3RZ (thoracic aorta, descending).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02HA0RZ (open) and 02HA4RZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 02HA3QZ (implantable heart assist system) and 02HA3YZ (other device).
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.
