About 0318094

0318094 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the left brachial artery using an open approach with autologous venous tissue (qualifier: left lower arm 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 0312094 (innominate artery), 0313094 (right subclavian artery), 0314094 (left subclavian artery), 0315094 (right axillary artery), 0316094 (left axillary artery), 031A094 (left ulnar artery) and 1 more.

With a different device, use 03180A4 (autologous arterial tissue), 03180J4 (synthetic substitute), 03180K4 (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 03180Z4 (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.
