About 02RM4JZ

02RM4JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the ventricular septum using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. 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 repair of ventricular septal defect with prosthesis, closed technique, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.55).

For a different body part, codes include 02R54JZ (atrial septum), 02R64JZ (right atrium), 02R74JZ (left atrium), 02R94JZ (chordae tendineae), 02RD4JZ (papillary muscle), 02RF4JZ (aortic valve) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02RM0JZ (open).

With a different device, use 02RM47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02RM48Z (zooplastic tissue) and 02RM4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 228 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures with MCC) and DRG 229 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures without MCC), under the surgical category “Other Cardiothoracic Procedures”.

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