About 031C0KF

031C0KF is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the left radial artery using an open approach with nonautologous tissue 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 03120KF (innominate artery), 03130KF (right subclavian artery), 03140KF (left subclavian artery), 03150KF (right axillary artery), 03160KF (left axillary artery), 03170KF (right brachial artery) and 4 more.

With a different device, use 031C09F (autologous venous tissue), 031C0AF (autologous arterial tissue), 031C0JF (synthetic substitute) and 031C0ZF (no device).

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 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures” and 2 more.

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