About 031B0ZF

031B0ZF is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the right radial artery using an open approach (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 03120ZF (innominate artery), 03130ZF (right subclavian artery), 03140ZF (left subclavian artery), 03150ZF (right axillary artery), 03160ZF (left axillary artery), 03170ZF (right brachial artery) and 4 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 031B3ZF (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 031B09F (autologous venous tissue), 031B0AF (autologous arterial tissue), 031B0JF (synthetic substitute) and 031B0KF (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 3 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
