About 02RH38H
02RH38H is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the pulmonary valve using a percutaneous approach with zooplastic tissue (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 pulmonary valve, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.08).
For a different body part, codes include 02RF38H (aortic valve), 02RG38H (mitral valve) and 02RJ38H (tricuspid valve).
With a different device, use 02RH37H (autologous tissue substitute), 02RH3JH (synthetic substitute) and 02RH3KH (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.
