About 037P04Z
037P04Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the right vertebral artery using an open approach with intraluminal device, drug-eluting. In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to procedure on single vessel, insertion of one vascular stent, insertion of drug-eluting stent(s) of other peripheral vessel(s) and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.40, 00.45, 00.55 and 1 more).
For a different body part, codes include 037004Z (right internal mammary artery), 037104Z (left internal mammary artery), 037204Z (innominate artery), 037304Z (right subclavian artery), 037404Z (left subclavian artery), 037504Z (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 037P34Z (percutaneous) and 037P44Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 037P05Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, two), 037P06Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, three), 037P07Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, four or more), 037P0DZ (intraluminal device), 037P0EZ (intraluminal device, two), 037P0FZ (intraluminal device, three) and 2 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 037 (Extracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 038 (Extracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 039 (Extracranial Procedures without CC/MCC), 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 categories “Extracranial Procedures” and “Other Vascular Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
