About 02RF37H

02RF37H is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the aortic valve using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: transapical). In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Transapical replacement of aortic valve, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.06).

For a different body part, codes include 02RG37H (mitral valve), 02RH37H (pulmonary valve) and 02RJ37H (tricuspid valve).

With a different device, use 02RF38H (zooplastic tissue), 02RF3JH (synthetic substitute) and 02RF3KH (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 266 (Endovascular Cardiac Valve Replacement and Supplement Procedures with MCC) and DRG 267 (Endovascular Cardiac Valve Replacement and Supplement Procedures without MCC), under the surgical category “Endovascular Cardiac Valve Replacement and Supplement Procedures”.

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