About 03150JK
03150JK is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right axillary artery using an open approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: left extracranial artery). 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 03120JK (innominate artery), 03130JK (right subclavian artery), 03140JK (left subclavian artery), 03160JK (left axillary artery), 031H0JK (right common carotid artery), 031J0JK (left common carotid artery) and 4 more.
With a different device, use 031509K (autologous venous tissue), 03150AK (autologous arterial tissue), 03150KK (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 03150ZK (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.
