About 02HK3JZ

02HK3JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the right ventricle using a percutaneous approach with cardiac lead, pacemaker. 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 initial insertion of lead [electrode], not otherwise specified, initial insertion of transvenous lead [electrode] into ventricle and replacement of transvenous atrial and/or ventricular lead(s) [electrode], the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (37.70, 37.71 and 37.76).

For a different body part, codes include 02H43JZ (coronary vein), 02H63JZ (right atrium), 02H73JZ (left atrium), 02HL3JZ (left ventricle), 02HM3JZ (ventricular septum) and 02HN3JZ (pericardium).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02HK0JZ (open) and 02HK4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02HK30Z (monitoring device, pressure sensor), 02HK32Z (monitoring device), 02HK33Z (infusion device), 02HK3DZ (intraluminal device), 02HK3KZ (cardiac lead, defibrillator), 02HK3MZ (cardiac lead) and 2 more.

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 210 (Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement with MCC), DRG 211 (Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement without MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Cardiac Pacemaker Revision or Device Replacement”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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