About 031509F
031509F is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right axillary artery using an open approach with autologous venous tissue (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 031209F (innominate artery), 031309F (right subclavian artery), 031409F (left subclavian artery), 031609F (left axillary artery), 031709F (right brachial artery), 031809F (left brachial artery) and 4 more.
With a different device, use 03150AF (autologous arterial tissue), 03150JF (synthetic substitute), 03150KF (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 03150ZF (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.
