About 03120JF
03120JF is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the innominate artery using an open approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: lower arm vein). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other (peripheral) vascular shunt or bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.29).
For a different body part, codes include 03130JF (right subclavian artery), 03140JF (left subclavian artery), 03150JF (right axillary artery), 03160JF (left axillary artery), 03170JF (right brachial artery), 03180JF (left brachial artery) and 4 more.
With a different device, use 031209F (autologous venous tissue), 03120AF (autologous arterial tissue), 03120KF (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 03120ZF (no device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
