About 02HM3KZ
02HM3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the ventricular septum using a percutaneous approach with cardiac lead, defibrillator. 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.
For a different body part, codes include 02H43KZ (coronary vein), 02H63KZ (right atrium), 02H73KZ (left atrium), 02HK3KZ (right ventricle), 02HL3KZ (left ventricle) and 02HN3KZ (pericardium).
With a different device, use 02HM3JZ (cardiac lead, pacemaker), 02HM3MZ (cardiac lead), 02HM3NZ (intracardiac pacemaker) and 02HM3YZ (other device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 265 (AICD Lead Procedures) and DRG 275 (Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization and MCC), under the surgical categories “AICD Lead Procedures” and “Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization”.
It was added in FY2027, effective October 1, 2026.
