About 03UP07Z

03UP07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the right vertebral artery using an open approach with autologous 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 tissue patch graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.56).

For a different body part, codes include 03U007Z (right internal mammary artery), 03U107Z (left internal mammary artery), 03U207Z (innominate artery), 03U307Z (right subclavian artery), 03U407Z (left subclavian artery), 03U507Z (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03UP37Z (percutaneous) and 03UP47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 03UP0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 03UP0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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”, “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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