About 037R3GZ
037R3GZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the face artery using a percutaneous approach with intraluminal device, four or more. 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 four or more vascular stents, percutaneous insertion of other extracranial artery stent(s) and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (00.40, 00.48, 00.64 and 1 more).
For a different body part, codes include 03703GZ (right internal mammary artery), 03713GZ (left internal mammary artery), 03723GZ (innominate artery), 03733GZ (right subclavian artery), 03743GZ (left subclavian artery), 03753GZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 037R0GZ (open) and 037R4GZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 037R34Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting), 037R35Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, two), 037R36Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, three), 037R37Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting, four or more), 037R3DZ (intraluminal device), 037R3EZ (intraluminal device, two) and 2 more.
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 was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
