About 03UG0KZ

03UG0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the intracranial artery using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of blood vessel with unspecified type of patch graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.58).

For a different body part, codes include 03U00KZ (right internal mammary artery), 03U10KZ (left internal mammary artery), 03U20KZ (innominate artery), 03U30KZ (right subclavian artery), 03U40KZ (left subclavian artery), 03U50KZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03UG3KZ (percutaneous) and 03UG4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 03UG07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 03UG0JZ (synthetic substitute).

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.
