About 02U738Z

02U738Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the left atrium using a percutaneous approach with zooplastic tissue. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of endocardial cushion defect with tissue graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.63).

For a different body part, codes include 02U038Z (coronary artery, one artery), 02U138Z (coronary artery, two arteries), 02U238Z (coronary artery, three arteries), 02U338Z (coronary artery, four or more arteries), 02U538Z (atrial septum), 02U638Z (right atrium) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02U708Z (open) and 02U748Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02U737Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02U73JZ (synthetic substitute) and 02U73KZ (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.
