About 031G0KG

031G0KG is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the intracranial artery using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute (qualifier: intracranial 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 031H0KG (right common carotid artery), 031J0KG (left common carotid artery), 031S0KG (right temporal artery) and 031T0KG (left temporal artery).

With a different device, use 031G09G (autologous venous tissue), 031G0AG (autologous arterial tissue), 031G0JG (synthetic substitute) and 031G0ZG (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.
